What Is Vital Pulp Therapy
Vital pulp therapy is a conservative endodontic treatment used to preserve healthy pulp tissue when it has been affected by decay or injury but is still capable of healing. The procedure involves removing the affected portion of the pulp while maintaining the vitality of the remaining tissue.
This approach helps protect the natural tooth, reduce the risk of further infection, and often avoids the need for more extensive treatment. Vital pulp therapy may be recommended for both children and adults, depending on the condition of the tooth.

After vital pulp therapy, the tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a short period as it heals. Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions and guidance to support a comfortable recovery.
We also coordinate with your general dentist to complete any necessary restoration and ensure long-term protection of the tooth.
