What is Vital Pulp Therapy?

Aiming to preserve the nerve as much as possible

Nerve Preservation Therapy

This is a treatment to preserve the nerve without removing it.

When you have a cavity, even if there are no symptoms, you may experience sensitivity to cold or sweet things in the early stages, and sensitivity to warm things and throbbing pain in the late stages.

Basically, if there are no symptoms or they are mild, even if the cavity is large and bacteria have reached the nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is rarely necessary, and nerve-preserving treatment (preservation therapy) is possible.
For this, accurate examination and diagnosis to determine if the nerve can be preserved, and treatment using appropriate materials and equipment are necessary.
If a dentist points out that the nerve of the tooth needs to be removed, it is important to consult well to see if root canal treatment is really necessary.

 

Types of Symptoms

Pulpitis

Pulpitis is a condition where the "pulp," which is the nerve and blood flow inside the tooth, causes pain for some reason.

The cause of the pain is that bacteria from a cavity enter the nerve of the tooth, causing the nerve to become inflamed.

Symptoms

Initially, there is mild pain from cold water or sweet things, and at this stage, there is no need to remove the nerve.
If you start to feel strong pain from warm things, or if it hurts even when doing nothing, throbs, painkillers don't work, or you can't sleep due to the pain, root canal treatment to remove the nerve is necessary.

Risks Associated with Treatment

Root canal treatment may temporarily increase pain due to the effects of the treatment.
