🏥 About Dr Futela’s Dental Centre, Gurgaon

At Dr Futela’s Dental Centre, we believe in saving your natural teeth whenever possible. With advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques, we focus on treatments that preserve your natural smile—like Vital Pulp Therapy.

🦷 What is Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT)?

Vital Pulp Therapy is a modern dental treatment used to save the living nerve (pulp) of a tooth when it is slightly damaged but still healthy.

Instead of removing the nerve (like in a root canal), we:

  • Protect the pulp
  • Promote natural healing
  • Preserve tooth strength and sensitivity

👉 Simple language: “Tooth ko bachana, nikalna nahi.”

🧠 When Do We Recommend Vital Pulp Therapy?

✅ Ideal Cases
  • Deep cavity close to the nerve
  • Mild or short-lasting pain
  • Small pulp exposure during treatment
  • Young patients with better healing
  • Recent dental injury
🚫 Not Suitable When:
  • Severe or continuous pain
  • Swelling or infection
  • Pus discharge
  • Dead nerve
  • Infection visible in X-ray

🔬 Types of Vital Pulp Therapy

1. Indirect Pulp Treatment

Decay nerve ke paas hai → protective layer lagayi jaati hai

2. Direct Pulp Capping

Nerve expose ho gaya → special material directly place

3. Pulpotomy

Thoda damaged pulp remove → baaki nerve save
