Symptoms of牙神经炎 (Pulpitis)
Disease description:
I have been diagnosed with pulpitis. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of pulpitis?
Pulpitis, clinically referred to as tooth nerve inflammation, primarily presents with significant pain. This pain may be spontaneous, particularly evident at night, and can be radiating, affecting the head and even the entire face. Patients may also exhibit abnormal sensitivity to hot or cold stimuli, leading to intensified pain. Additionally, tooth nerve inflammation is often accompanied by dental conditions such as dental caries, tooth decay, or severe periodontitis, which can further trigger pulp inflammation. When the aforementioned symptoms appear, timely medical consultation is recommended for professional oral examination and treatment, such as root canal therapy, to alleviate pain and restore oral health. Specific symptoms may vary among individuals, so consultation with a dental professional is advised.
