Effective Fixes for Pulpitis

1
EFFECTIVE REMEDIES for PULPITIS
2
Dental pulp is a substance that exists within the
center of your teeth. It contains living
connective tissue along with blood vessels and
nerves.

3
The pulp serves several vital roles for helping
to maintain your oral health. For instance, it
helps to prevent your teeth from getting brittle
by maintaining blood flow that keeps them
nourished.

You can also thank dental pulp for letting you
know when something is wrong with your tooth.
The pulp can become inflamed in response to
trauma or infections and lead to issues with
tooth sensitivity

5
When you come into our office complaining about a
tooth that hurts when you bite down or eat
something hot or cold, then we may diagnose you
with pulpitis.

6
In most cases, tooth decay is the cause of
pulpitis, but it can also be caused by trauma to
the tooth.

7
The most effective fix for the condition depends
upon the underlying cause as well as the overall
health of your tooth.

Remove Tooth Decay and Place a Filling
9
Tooth decay can reach deep into the enamel where
it begins to irritate the pulp. If the decay is
not too extensive, then it is sometimes possible
to do a simple filling.

10
After the filling is complete, you may have some
temporary soreness as the pulp recovers.

11
Reduce Pressure on the Nerves
12
At times, a filling may be placed too high.
When this happens, the filled tooth hits the
one above or below it with too much force.

13
Over time, this repeated pressure can irritate
the nerves in the pulp and lead to pain and
pressure.

14
High fillings can be adjusted during a quick
office visit, and it is best to do this as soon
as possible to prevent irreversible pulpitis.

15
Perform a Root Canal and Crown Procedure
16
Severe tooth decay or a fracture can leave
openings in the enamel that allow bacteria to
reach the dental pulp. Once this happens, an
infection occurs in the pulp that leads to
inflammation and causes it to become necrotic.

17
A root canal is performed to remove the affected
pulp from the tooth.

18
After the pulp is removed, the tooth is weakened
due to the loss of enamel as well as the blood
supply that helped to keep it nourished.

19
We can then place a dental crown over the tooth
to restore its strength and prevent further
damage.

20
Eliminate the Infection With Antibiotics
21
Pulpitis frequently occurs due to an infection
within the tooth that we can treat with
antibiotics.

22
Pulpitis frequently occurs due to an infection
within the tooth that we can treat with
antibiotics. Often, medication is prescribed
before or after a root canal procedure to make
sure that the infection is fully gone.

23
Although the pain may be gone, the infection can
come back until you address the underlying cause.

24
Extract the Tooth
25
An extraction is another option that ends the
pain of inflamed dental pulp by removing the
problem completely. You might choose an
extraction if a previous root canal is failing or
if the tooth is severely damaged to the point
that it is not repairable.
https//www.nobledentalcare.com/
26
After you heal from the extraction, we can use
implants or a denture to replace the tooth.

27
The throbbing pain created by irritated dental
pulp can reach severe levels that keep you up at
night.

28
Always address mild tooth pain and sensitivity
when it first begins. If we catch this condition
in the early stages, then it may still be
reversible with a simple filling.
