Pulpitis

What is Pulpitis?

Pulpitis is an infection or inflammation of the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains blood vessels and nerves. When bacteria enter the pulp through decay or trauma, it can cause pain and inflammation. If left untreated, pulpitis can lead to pulp necrosis, abscesses, and severe complications affecting surrounding dental structures.

Symptoms of Pulpitis

Persistent toothache: Especially noticeable during eating or when exposed to hot or cold temperatures.

Swollen gums around the affected tooth: May also be accompanied by pain when touched.

Spontaneous pain: Pain that arises without an obvious cause and can radiate to nearby areas like the ear or temple.

Bad breath or pus discharge from the gums: In severe cases, an abscess may form.

Causes of Pulpitis

Untreated tooth decay: Bacteria from the cavity infiltrate the pulp.

Tooth trauma: Chipped or cracked teeth provide an entry point for bacteria.

Worn or cracked teeth: Enamel erosion or deep fractures can expose the pulp.

Gum disease: Inflamed gums may lead to gum recession, exposing the tooth root and causing pulp infection.

Faulty fillings: Poor-quality or improperly sealed fillings can allow bacteria to enter the pulp.

Pulpitis Treatment Process at Jiwon Dental

Examination and X-ray Imaging

The dentist evaluates the patient’s oral condition to determine the extent of the infection and the exact location of the affected tooth.

Oral Cleaning and Local Anesthesia

The affected area is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless procedure.

Placement of Rubber Dam and Pulp Removal

A rubber dam is used to isolate the tooth, and the infected pulp is thoroughly cleaned out to eliminate bacteria and debris from the root canal.

Sealing the Root Canal

The root canal is sealed with specialized filling material to prevent reinfection. In complex cases, temporary fillings may be placed first to ensure the infection is fully resolved before the permanent seal.

Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up

The dentist provides guidance on oral hygiene and dietary habits to maintain long-term results and schedules regular follow-up appointments.
