If you’re wondering what dentists do pulp capping, it’s a procedure used to protect a tooth’s pulp when it’s exposed or nearly exposed, aiming to encourage healing and avoid a root canal. However, Dr. Eastwood typically does not perform pulp capping, as current dental research shows that with modern materials and techniques, pulp capping doesn’t significantly improve long-term outcomes.
Instead, Dr. Eastwood focuses on treatments that provide the best chance for lasting health and comfort, such as carefully done fillings or root canal therapy when needed.
