When the inner pulp of a tooth is irritated but still alive, Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) may be the ideal treatment. This approach helps preserve the living tissue within a tooth, especially in children and teens with developing teeth. By removing only the affected portion of the pulp and protecting the rest with a biocompatible material, VPT allows the tooth to continue to grow and mature naturally.
Vital Pulp Therapy is a gentle, minimally invasive solution designed to prevent the need for full root canal treatment later on.
