Dental Questions.

Infection of the pulp of a tooth causes severe pain.Why?


Tooth is made up of Dentin covered by enamel,over the crown and cementum over the remaning part.The cavity within the dentin contains connective tissues,blood vessels and nerves,which forms the pulp of the tooth.
Infection of the pulp occurs usually due to the invasion of pulp cavity by a deep carious lesion of the tooth causing inflammatory swelling of the pulp.
Since the pulp cavity is a rigid space,the swollen pulpal tissue causes severe pain in tooth(TOOTHACHE)
