14. Prolonged Pain and Discomfort
Pulpitis can cause prolonged pain and discomfort, significantly impacting daily life. This persistent pain is more than just an occasional toothache; it’s a constant reminder that something is wrong.
This prolonged pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, intense bursts of pain. Unlike temporary discomfort that might result from a minor injury or sensitivity, this pain is persistent and often doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relief.
Living with constant pain can affect your mood, sleep, and overall quality of life. It can make it difficult to focus on tasks and enjoy activities that you once found pleasurable.
Addressing this symptom requires the expertise of a dentist. They can conduct a thorough examination to determine the cause of the pain and recommend appropriate treatments to alleviate the discomfort. (14)
