Pulpitis: Inflammation of the tooth is called a pulpitis. It happens when the nerve gets irritated. There are several causes. It can be reversible or irreversible. If the inflammation does not go away, a root canal could be indicated.

Depends: It will depend on what you are doing and how you are treating the inflammation or infection. Once you have had treatment, inflammation usually responds quickly. You should notice an improvement in a day or two. Without treatment. It may just get worse. So see a dentist and find out what kind of treatment you need.

It depends: What is causing the inflammation. Discomfort from a new filling may take up to a month to go away. Having a crown is traumatic to the tooth and may take a little longer to go away. After a root canal, the inflammation takes only a few days to go away.
