Vital Pulp Therapy

Vital pulp therapy is a dental procedure aimed at preserving the healthy pulp inside a tooth when it becomes slightly damaged or inflamed, often due to decay or trauma. Instead of removing the entire pulp, the dentist removes only the affected part and then applies a special medicated material to promote healing and maintain the pulp's vitality. This approach helps prevent the need for more extensive treatments like root canals, preserving the tooth's natural structure and function. It's a minimally invasive way to protect and save a tooth that would otherwise be at risk of losing vitality.
