Remember that sick feeling you must have felt while suffering from the flu, that fearsome fever is actually your body’s way of indicating that there is something wrong with you. When your body detects infections and tries to fight them off, you feel feverish. 

The ‘Hot Tooth’ condition isn’t much different than that. Don't be scared, be prepared. Let us tell you all about this horrible sounding dental problem.

When your innermost core of the tooth (the pulp) gets inflamed it causes pain and eventually the problem of Irreversible Pulpitis which is also called the ‘Hot Tooth’ condition. It is not the temperature of the tooth but the condition. 

The causes are as important as ‘Hot Tooth’ repercussions. It may be caused due to deep-seated cavities, heavy filling, trauma to the tooth, teeth grinding or recurrent dental work on one tooth.
