About Pulp Therapy<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I enjoy getting to know my patients and building meaningful relationships. I understand that each person is unique and that they have diverse cultural backgrounds, so I strive to actively listen and empower them to be an advocate for the health and wellness goals that are important to them. I\u2019m dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care by providing patient education and practicing evidence-based medicine. I\u2019m passionate about practicing preventive medicine and helping my patients manage acute and chronic health conditions, mental health.<\/p>

I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
What is pulp therapy?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>
Pulp therapy is a dental procedure used to treat, repair, or remove the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth that has been damaged by decay or injury. It helps save the tooth and prevent infection or pain.<\/div><\/div>
What is the difference between pulpotomy and pulpectomy?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>

Pulpotomy: Only the infected part of the pulp in the crown (top) of the tooth is removed.<\/p>

Pulpectomy: The entire pulp \u2014 from the crown and roots \u2014 is removed, and the canals are cleaned and filled.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Is pulp therapy painful?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>
No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia to keep your child comfortable and pain-free. Mild soreness may occur afterward but usually goes away within a day or two.<\/div><\/div>
Why not just extract the tooth instead?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>
Preserving the natural tooth helps maintain proper chewing, speech development, and spacing for permanent teeth. Extraction is considered only if the tooth cannot be saved.<\/div><\/div>
What happens after pulp therapy?<\/span><\/a><\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/h5>
The treated tooth is usually covered with a stainless steel crown or tooth-colored cap to restore its function and protect it from further damage.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
