Can Pulpitis Resolve on its Own?

Pulpitis is the inflammation of the dental Pulp. The Pulp is the jelly-resembling tissue in the heart of each Tooth.

Suppose you are experiencing symptoms like tooth sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet, throbbing pain or swelling. The symptoms can vary from person to person and depending on the Pulpitis severity.

The chances are that if you suffer from Pulpitis, you experience an inflammation of the dental Pulp, which is the tissue containing blood vessels and nerves.

During the first stage, the Pulpitis is reversible, and with proper dental care to restore the Tooth and its cavity, the inflammation and the pain will subside.

Remember the adage saying, "Hope is not a strategy!"

Procrastination with making an appointment with a dentist and hoping the pain will go away will lead to irreversible Pulpitis.

Irreversible Pulpitis has more severe symptoms and might require Root Canal treatment.

Further procrastination and neglecting the treatment will spread the infection to more tissue in the area.

Only the Dentist can diagnose the condition correctly and not ignore it, which is a serious condition.
