Indirect Pulp Capping in Kennewick

Indirect Pulp Capping

Indirect pulp capping is used when decay is very deep and close to the pulp, but the pulp itself has not yet been exposed. In this treatment, our endodontist carefully removes most of the decay but leaves a thin protective layer over the pulp. Then, a biocompatible material such as calcium hydroxide or Biodentine is placed to shield the pulp and allow natural healing.
Direct Pulp Capping in Kennewick

Direct Pulp Capping

Direct pulp capping is what we do when the soft part of the tooth, called the pulp, gets a tiny hole because of a cavity or a bump, but the pulp itself is still in good shape. We clean the little spot and then place a special healing material like MTA or Biodentine right over it. These materials act like a band-aid, helping the tooth make new dentin and keeping germs out, so the tooth gets a chance to get better on its own.
Pulpotomy in Kennewick

Pulpotomy

Pulpotomy is the step we take when a cavity or infection makes its way to the pulp inside the crown, or top part, of the tooth, but the germs haven’t travelled down the roots yet. We carefully take out just the infected part of the pulp and leave the healthy bits in the roots. The space is then filled with a safe, medicated material that keeps the remaining pulp alive. Pulpotomies are super common in kids’ baby teeth to quickly relieve tooth pain and to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
Partial Pulpotomy (Cvek Pulpotomy)

Partial Pulpotomy (Cvek Pulpotomy)

A partial pulpotomy, which some folks call a Cvek pulpotomy, is a super smart way to save a hurting young permanent tooth. Instead of taking out all the pulp, we only take a tiny piece that got banged up. This lets the tooth keep growing and healing on its own, like a bruise that gets better if you leave it alone.

What Makes Tri City Special!

Over at Tri City Endodontics, we take the “care” part of “health care” seriously. Patients keep coming back because we mix years of know-how with the latest tools. For pulp treatments, we only use safe stuff like MTA, calcium hydroxide, and Biodentine. 

It makes the tooth stay strong, and the healing gets a nice boost. Plus, we know a trip to the dentist can get the jitters going. That’s why our Pasco office is built to feel easy and calm. We squeeze you in for same-day emergencies, keep the chat friendly and clear about what’s coming, and promise to back you up from “hi” to “see you later.”

FAQs

Pulp capping keeps the pulp safe by not taking it out, while pulpotomy cuts out the sick part of the pulp inside the crown. Both are done to keep the tooth.
