Pulp Capping - You May Not Need the Root Canal

In this informative video, Dr. Dmitry Gorbatov, a seasoned practitioner of cosmetic and holistic dentistry for over 33 years, explores alternative treatments to root canal for teeth with significant decay. Broadcasting from his practice in Hollywood, Florida, Dr. Gorbatov introduces 'pulp capping' – a procedure aimed at preserving the life of a tooth that might otherwise be subjected to root canal treatment.

Discover how this conservative approach involves meticulously removing decay layer by layer and using specialized materials to protect and maintain the tooth's pulp. Dr. Gorbatov emphasizes the importance of minimal invasion, especially when the tooth is still alive and free from abscesses, to maintain its vitality.

Throughout the video, you'll learn about the process of pulp capping, the crucial role of proper assessment, and the subsequent steps if no symptoms or inflammation are present after the treatment. Dr. Gorbatov also highlights the importance of Vitamin C as an anti-inflammatory supplement during the treatment period.

If you're contemplating root canal therapy and wondering about less invasive options, this video will provide you with valuable insights and alternatives. Tune in to make an informed decision about your dental health, and don't forget to subscribe for more expert advice from Dr. Gorbatov.

I had sth broken off of a molar bc of a a popcorn corn that I accidentally bit onto, didn't had any pain and when it started to get black I immediately went to the doctor and they did a root channel and then told me they want money and didn't say how much and send it to me via the mail, even though on the telephone they said that the insurance would cover it.
Now I'm confused af.
Why say on the phone insurance does this, why then do a root channel if you could have done pulp capping and why then tell my while you are inside of the root "oh btw we gonna send you a check via mail" bc the insurance won't cover everything.

I swear I'm so close to "running into that dentist praxis and doing to the doctors throat what he did to my one tooth that had a small piece chipped out".

What if there is NO pain? Such as there are calcified roots resulting in an ankylosed tooth?

Would you recommend the gentle wave therapy?

Great video.

If the tooth seems ok after 4 weeks (zinc oxide + Eugenol placed) is it quite safe to go ahead with the crown?
