Establishing A Lifetime Of Healthy Smiles
At Pflugerville Family Dentistry, we believe that a child’s dental experience can shape their entire outlook on oral health care for life. That’s why we take great pride in creating a warm, nurturing environment for our youngest patients. Our team cherishes the opportunity to work with children, fostering their love for dental care and instilling the importance of a healthy smile from an early age. We understand the unique needs of our pediatric patients and are passionate about helping them achieve optimal oral health in a fun, nurturing, and engaging environment.
The Importance Of Pediatric Endodontics
Childhood dental decay is alarmingly prevalent, but our office is dedicated to its prevention through education, proactive treatments, and early intervention. In the event that dental decay occurs and advances to infection, we provide prompt and gentle endodontic procedures to ensure that every child leaves our office with a healthy smile.
Pediatric endodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on the health of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. When dental decay or infection is present, endodontic treatment may be necessary to save the tooth and preserve your child’s natural tooth. The endodontic procedures we offer are presented below.
Pulp Capping
Pulp capping is a conservative procedure performed when dental decay has not yet reached the pulp but is close. In this treatment, a biocompatible material is placed directly over the exposed or nearly exposed pulp to stimulate the tooth's natural healing process and prevent the need for more extensive treatment.

Pulpotomy
A pulpotomy is a procedure used to treat an infected or inflamed dental pulp in primary (baby) teeth. During this procedure, the affected pulp tissue is removed from the crown portion of the tooth, and a medicated dressing is placed to preserve the remaining healthy pulp tissue in the root canals. This helps maintain the tooth's vitality and supports proper tooth development.

Pulpectomy
A pulpectomy is performed when the infection has spread throughout the entire dental pulp, including the root canals. In this procedure, our team will remove the entire pulp tissue and fill the empty root canals with biocompatible material. This procedure aims to save the tooth, prevent further infection, and maintain proper space for the developing permanent tooth.

Preventing Oral Health Problems In Children
At Pflugerville Family Dentistry, we believe that prevention is the cornerstone of a lifetime of healthy smiles. Here are some steps parents can take to encourage healthy oral hygiene habits in their children:
- Begin dental visits early, preferably by their first birthday or within six months of the eruption of the first tooth.
- Teach proper brushing and flossing techniques and ensure children brush twice a day for two minutes.
- Encourage a balanced diet, limiting sugary and acidic foods and drinks.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings for your child.
- Ask our team about preventive treatments such as dental sealants and fluoride applications.
