“Can internal tooth resorption be reversed?”
I am a 37 year old male. I want to know if internal tooth resorption can be reversed?

Unfortunately, any damage caused by internal resorption is permanent and can not be reversed.
You probably have seen your dentist. You can try having the tooth root CANALED. Remember not all root canals are successful.
If your mouth care has not been up to par, ask about how you should be flossing correctly and brushing correctly. Taking care of your teeth
takes time but worth the effort.

Unfortunately it can't be reversed, but it can be treated as long as the resorption is small.
While the long term prognosis for a tooth with internal resorption is questionable, this depends on how bad the resorption is. The tooth is treated with a regimen of medications over several weeks, then filled with a special root canal filling. Often times, this tooth can be saved for many years.
