How do you cure hot pulps?

Hot pulps are a dental condition caused by inflammation and infection of the soft tissue within the tooth. Treatment aims to relieve pain and address the underlying infection. Options may include:

- Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to combat bacterial infection and reduce inflammation.

- Pain management: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can be used to manage pain.

- Root canal treatment: If the pulp infection is severe or does not respond to antibiotics alone, root canal treatment may be necessary. During a root canal, the inflamed pulp is removed from the tooth, and the root canal is cleaned and sealed.

- Extraction: In some cases, if the tooth is severely damaged or the infection cannot be controlled, tooth extraction may be the only option.
