What Is Baby Tooth Amputation?

Baby tooth amputation is a treatment method used when the nerve and vascular structure of the baby tooth are affected, but a large portion of the tooth is still healthy. In cases where decay or infection has progressed to the nerve tissue, the damaged nerve part of the tooth is cleaned, and the remaining part of the tooth is covered with a filling. This procedure ensures that the rest of the tooth continues to function and prevents premature tooth loss.

When Is Baby Tooth Amputation Performed?

Baby tooth amputation is generally preferred in the following cases:

Advanced Cavities: It is performed when cavities reach the tooth’s nerves and cause pain in the child. The amputation process allows the tooth to continue functioning, preventing its complete extraction. Tooth Trauma: In cases where damage occurs to baby teeth due to traumas such as falls or impacts in children, amputation can save the tooth if the nerves are affected. Infection Cases: Infections that reach the tooth root can cause serious damage to the nerve tissue. The amputation process protects the tooth by cleaning the infected tissue.

What Are the Advantages of Baby Tooth Amputation?

Prevents Tooth Loss: It prevents the complete extraction of the tooth due to decay or infection, allowing the tooth to continue its natural function. Supports Jaw and Tooth Development: Early loss of baby teeth can cause permanent teeth to misalign and disrupt jaw development. Amputation reduces these risks by keeping the tooth in place.
