When our teeth are developing, the dental pulp is responsible for helping grow our roots. Vital pulp and regenerative therapy are ideal for young patients who have diseased or infected pulp but would still benefit from continued root growth and development. The purpose of these treatments is to maintain healthy pulp tissue or to regenerate pulp tissue from existing stem cells around an immature tooth, so that further root development can occur.
Whether teeth have been damaged by decay or injury, vital pulp and regenerative therapy can help heal them so that they still have strong and healthy roots.
