Pulpitis

Pulpitis is the inflammation of the dental pulp, the internal tissue of the tooth where the nerves and blood vessels are found. It is usually related to advanced cavities or damage to the tooth.

Common symptoms: The most characteristic sign is dental pain, which can be intense, spontaneous, or increase with stimuli such as cold, heat, or sweets.

Common causes: It often originates from deep cavities, dental fractures, or trauma that reaches the pulp.

Which specialist to see? The dentist performs the initial evaluation and the endodontics specialist focuses on the treatment of the pulp and the tooth's canals. If you have dental pain that does not go away, the most advisable thing is to schedule a professional evaluation soon.
