This disease makes it difficult for patients to live as well as causes dangerous complications for the teeth if not treated in time.
1. Can pulpitis be cured?
When the pulp is inflamed by a large hole or by a fracture, bacteria will enter to cause inflammation.
Inflamed pulp will increase the activity of cells and blood circulation, increasing pressure inside the pulp and causing pain. Patients often feel pain when biting, chewing on it or when drinking and in contact with hot or cold food.
Teeth with pulp inflammation do not heal on their own. However, in some severe cases, if left untreated, the infection will spread, the bone around the tooth will degenerate and the tooth may fall out. The pain often gets so bad that the patient has to see the dentist urgently.
Pulpitis is curable or not and the recovery of the pulp depends on the advanced stage of the disease. The more the disease progresses to a later stage, the more damaged the tooth's structures are, and the harder it is to recover the pulp.
