The visible part of the tooth is the crown. The outer covering of the tooth is called enamel. The rest of the tooth is hidden below the gum line and is called the root. The outer portion of the root is hard. This is called dentin. The inner portion or the root canal contains a pulp which is soft. This consists of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.
When enamel and dentin coat of the tooth is damaged, the tooth nerve becomes unprotected from external influences and this condition is very painful for the patient. The pain is caused because of the pressure of fluids building up inside the pulp chamber or root canal.
Pulpitis is caused by an inflammation of the pulp inside the tooth. It is usually the result of either dental caries or tooth decay or dental injury. Dental caries occurs as a result of poor dental hygiene. Pulpitis can affect milk teeth and permanent teeth.
Caries is caused mostly in children because the bacteria in the mouth feed on sugar and starch that we consume. They produce an acid that leads to tooth decay. This can in turn lead to an infection of the pulp and sometimes the gums.
Symptoms of Pulpitis is severe pain in the tooth usually during the night.
Mild inflammation may not damage the tooth permanently. Severe inflammation may cause the pulp to die. The treatment of pulpitis might involve several visits to the dental clinic. The dentist may remove the nerve and to put a composite filling in place.
The pupitis can be avoided through proper oral hygiene which will protect from caries complications turning it into pulpitis
