In some cases, a tooth nerve can heal itself, but this is not always the case. For example, a tooth nerve that is sensitive to cold can heal itself; this is known as reversible pulpitis. If decay has progressed into the nerve, it cannot heal itself and needs to be treated by a dentist or endodontist as soon as possible to prevent complications.   If you or someone you love has sensitive teeth, trust the professionals at Ideal Endodontics to help you find the solution.
