Symptoms Indicating Pulpitis Development

Pulpitis is an inflammation of the tooth's soft tissue (pulp), often accompanied by severe pain. If untreated, it can lead to serious complications. At the "Smile Factor" dental clinic, we are here to help you address this issue and maintain your dental health.

Key Symptoms of Pulpitis

Pulpitis can be identified by the following symptoms:

• Sharp pain: Pain may occur suddenly, often at night or when exposed to hot, cold, sweet, or sour stimuli.
• Persistent discomfort: The pain continues even after the irritant is removed (e.g., after drinking cold water).
• Referred pain: Sensations may spread to neighboring teeth, the jaw, or even the ear.
• Tooth sensitivity: The affected tooth becomes extremely sensitive to temperature or mechanical impact.
• General weakness: The inflammation can be accompanied by fatigue, weakness, and even fever.

Causes of Pulpitis

The primary cause of pulpitis is deep cavities that allow bacteria to reach the tooth pulp. Other contributing factors include:

• Tooth injuries;
• Chemical exposure (e.g., acidic foods or drinks);
• Poorly performed cavity treatments;
• Thermal damage (e.g., from dental tools).

Why Treat Pulpitis Early?

Ignoring pulpitis symptoms can result in more severe conditions like periodontitis or abscesses. These complications can lead to tooth loss and the spread of infection to adjacent tissues and organs.
