Vital Pulp Therapy / Pulpotomy

Pulpotomy

The goal of vital pulp therapy (also called pulpotomy or baby root canal) is to save healthy dental pulp in the root of a tooth that has decay into the nerve tissue. Vital pulp therapy is only recommended when there is no swelling or abscess around the tooth and it is not loose. It may also be recommended for an injured baby tooth to save it from early extraction.
