Pulp therapy is a treatment used to preserve the health of a child's teeth. The dental pulp is the tissue that contains the nerves and blood vessels within the tooth. When this tissue becomes damaged, it can lead to infection and pain. Dr. Jon can gently remove infected pulp tissue pulpotomy, also known as a baby root canal. This treatment helps to keep the tooth healthy and prevent further damage.
What Happens During Pulp Therapy Treatment?
One visit is usually sufficient to clean, disinfect, and fill cavities or infected teeth using gentle pulp therapy. The procedure is not painful, but your child may feel pressure during the treatment. After the pulp therapy procedure, your child will need to take care of their tooth and avoid hard foods for a few weeks. With proper care, dental pulp therapy can help your child keep their natural tooth for a lifetime.
