Pulp Therapy is a dental procedure used to save a damaged tooth. The pulp is the soft, living tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes damaged due to injury, infection, or decay, it can cause pain and inflammation.
There are two main types of pulp therapy:
Root canal therapy: This procedure is used when the pulp is severely damaged or infected. The dentist removes the damaged pulp and fills the root canals with a special material.
Pulpotomy: This procedure is used when only the pulp in the crown of the tooth is damaged. The dentist removes the damaged pulp and seals the remaining pulp in the root.
Benefits of Pulp Therapy:
Saves a tooth: Pulp therapy can help preserve a natural tooth, avoiding the need for an extraction.
Relieves pain: Pulp therapy can eliminate pain and discomfort caused by a damaged tooth.
Improved function: A restored tooth can improve your ability to eat, speak, and smile.
