Pulpitis is an inflammatory response of the dental pulp tissue caused by a bacterial infection. In the early stages of pulpitis, there is no pain in the gums, as the inflammation is limited to the roots of the teeth, affecting only the pulp within the root canals. This condition can be alleviated through dental treatment, and there are no symptoms in the gums. However, if pulpitis is not treated in a timely manner, the inflammation can progress to the root apex. If not properly drained on time, an abscess can form, meaning the inflammation would break through the gums and begin to discharge pus. This scenario can cause pain in the gums. Therefore, while early pulpitis does not cause gum pain, in the later stages, an abscess in the gums forms, and pain is experienced.
