Vital pulp therapy is a conservative treatment designed to preserve the healthy pulp tissue inside a tooth. It is often recommended when the pulp has been exposed or irritated but remains healthy enough to heal. During the procedure, the affected area is treated and protected with a special biocompatible material that encourages healing. By preserving the tooth’s natural vitality, vital pulp therapy can help maintain normal tooth development and function. This treatment may allow patients to avoid more extensive procedures such as root canal treatment. Careful evaluation helps determine whether a tooth is a good candidate for this approach.
