A pulpotomy removes infected or inflamed pulp from the crown of a baby tooth while leaving the healthy pulp in the roots.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry makes clear that a pulpotomy is for baby teeth whose pulp is healthy or reversibly inflamed, while a pulpectomy removes all the pulp when it is irreversibly inflamed or dead.

The choice also depends on whether the tooth can be restored.

Baby teeth keep space for adult teeth and help with chewing and speech, so losing one early can lead to crowding; a pulpotomy can keep the tooth until it falls out naturally.

Mild soreness for 24 to 48 hours is common, while swelling, pain or a gum boil can mean the treatment has not worked.

Fitness to fly: dental treatment rarely stops you flying, but implants and other staged work need healing time between appointments, so plan trips around the treatment plan.

In Chennai, the price of pulpotomy is generally built from these parts:

• Check-up and imaging: X-rays or a CBCT scan.
• Materials and lab fees: the crown, implant or veneer system.
• Visits to Chennai: staged treatment may mean a return trip.
• Tooth treated: generally a baby molar.
• Crown later on: frequently a stainless steel crown.
• Sedation: for anxious children.
• Follow-up: to check the tooth.

Dental work in Chennai is generally priced per tooth or per stage. Ask the clinic for an itemised plan covering lab work, materials and review appointments.

Dental treatment in Chennai is mainly offered by private dental clinics and hospital dental departments, many with in-house X-ray or 3D scanning and links to dental laboratories.

Hospitals in Chennai can hold NABH accreditation, India's national quality standard set by a board of the Quality Council of India and itself accredited by ISQua, and the NABH website shows whether an accreditation is still valid.

Joint Commission International (JCI) accredits a number of Indian hospitals, and its public directory lets you check whether a Chennai hospital on your shortlist is currently included.

If a Chennai hospital runs an international patient service, ask whether it can provide the invitation letter for your e-Medical visa and arrange airport collection, interpreters and nearby accommodation.
