Irreversible Pulpitis treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Irreversible pulpitis is an advanced inflammation of the dental pulp —the inner tissue of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels— that can no longer recover on its own after the damage.

Common symptoms: It usually causes intense, spontaneous pain, which can increase with heat or when lying down and persist even after the stimulus is removed.

Common causes: It is often due to deep cavities, tooth fractures, or blows that reach the inner tissue.

Which specialist treats it? The endodontist is the dentist specialized in the interior of the tooth and in this type of pulp condition. If you have persistent tooth pain that does not let up, it is best to have it evaluated soon with this professional to define the way forward.
