Pulpitis does not require hospitalization; it can be treated routinely in a dental outpatient clinic. Pulpitis results from the progression of caries. If dental caries are not addressed early with fillings, bacteria can infect further, reaching the dental nerves and causing symptoms of pulpitis. Severe pulpitis can cause pain when eating, pain at night, and poorly localized pain, which might radiate to the temporal area of the ear, causing intense discomfort. Routine outpatient treatments for pulpitis include nerve removal, anti-inflammation, and finally, root canal filling. A comprehensive root canal treatment can effectively resolve the symptoms of pulpitis, making hospitalization unnecessary.
