Pulpotomy Cost in United Arab Emirates

The cost of pulpotomy in the UAE typically ranges from $2,000 to $18,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

A pulpotomy removes only the inflamed pulp in the crown of a tooth and leaves the healthy pulp in the roots. It is mostly carried out on children's milk teeth. In the UAE, the price depends on:

• Number of teeth treated: one or several.
• Crown afterwards: stainless steel or tooth-coloured.
• Sedation: for children who are anxious.
• Type of practice: general or paediatric dentist.

Pulpotomy is a routine dental procedure priced per tooth in the UAE. A quote near the range above is unusual, so ask what it includes.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry explains that a pulpotomy suits milk teeth whose pulp is healthy or only reversibly inflamed. When the pulp is irreversibly inflamed or has died, all of it is removed in a pulpectomy. Whether the tooth can be restored also guides the decision. See the pulpectomy page.

Baby teeth keep space open for adult teeth and help children chew and speak. A tooth lost too early can lead to crowding later, so a pulpotomy aims to keep it until it falls out naturally.

Dental care is excluded from basic UAE insurance plans, so check whether your child's plan includes dental benefits.

Some soreness for a day or two is normal. Return to the dentist if the child develops swelling, ongoing pain or a small boil on the gum, which can mean the treatment has not worked.
