Pulpitis is inflammation of dental pulp tissue. The pulp contains the blood vessels, the nerves, and connective tissue inside a tooth and provides the tooth's blood and nutrients.

Pulpitis is reversible when the pain is mild to moderate and lasts for a short time after a stimulus (for instance cold); or irreversible when the pain is severe, spontaneous, and lasts a long time after a stimulus. Left untreated, pulpitis may become irreversible, then progress to pulp necrosis (death of the pulp) and apical periodontitis ...

The global challenge we should be talking more about.
Ongoing tooth infections, like pulpitis, release chemicals that attract immune cells and activate osteoblasts. Osteoblasts create extra bone in response to inflammation, making the area look more sclerotic. Unlike typical infections, condensing osteitis doesn't destroy bone or produce pus it just adds more bone to the affected area. [4] [6]
