UNDERSTANDING PULP THERAPY
Protecting Your Child’s Baby Teeth
Pulp therapy treats infected or inflamed inner tooth tissue, helping the baby tooth stay healthy and in place naturally. When decay or injury reaches the pulp, it can cause discomfort and swelling. Treating this early preserves space for permanent teeth. Your paediatric dentist will examine the tooth and use a gentle approach to ensure your child remains comfortable throughout the procedure.
Early treatment helps protect your child’s smile and supports healthy dental development.
