Adaptation and targeted diagnostics
The doctor meets the child, examines the mouth, and takes an X-ray to assess roots and the permanent tooth bud.
Primary tooth pulpitis treatment in Odesa – iDentity Clinic & Lab
Pulpitis in primary teeth develops quickly because enamel is thin and the pulp volume is large. Inflammation causes sharp or night pain, sensitivity to temperature, and requires immediate pediatric care to save the root and protect permanent tooth buds.
At iDentity, pulpitis is treated with biocompatible materials using pulp-preserving protocols (pulpotomy or partial pulp removal). This keeps root pulp viable and supports natural root resorption when the bite changes.
All steps are painless thanks to two-stage anesthesia: a pleasant-tasting gel on the gums, then a hypoallergenic pediatric anesthetic.

When primary tooth pulpitis treatment is needed
How primary pulpitis treatment differs from adult care
The main goal of pediatric endodontics is to preserve viable root pulp or enable natural root resorption without harming permanent tooth buds.
Here is how this affects treatment:
- Instead of full nerve removal, pulpotomy is often used — removing only coronal pulp while keeping root pulp alive.
- Primary root canals are filled with pastes that resorb with the root.
- Procedure time is minimized to prevent fatigue in the dental chair.
- All antiseptics and medicaments use concentrations safe for children.
When another option makes sense
If visual exam and a targeted X-ray show that:
- caries destroyed more than 50% of the crown — after pulp treatment a pediatric stainless-steel crown is needed;
- inflammation spread beyond the root into bone with a gum fistula or purulent periodontitis threatening the permanent bud — extraction is required;
- the primary root has resorbed more than two-thirds as the bite changes quickly — routine extraction is performed.
In these cases the pediatric dentist proposes the appropriate protocol. The final plan is agreed with parents before treatment.

FAQ
FAQ about primary tooth pulpitis treatment
Not always — if inflammation has not spread to the roots, pulpotomy removes only coronal pulp and keeps root pulp alive.
Extraction is a last resort. Early loss narrows jaw space and leads to crooked permanent teeth.
In most cases modern materials allow treatment in one or two visits of 30–40 minutes each.
Mild sensitivity when chewing for 1–3 days is a normal tissue response to medicament and usually resolves quickly.
Biocompatible pastes based on calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, or iodoform that resorb with the root during tooth exchange.
