Deep tooth decay
Trauma
Cracked or chipped tooth
Faulty dental crowns
If left untreated, an infection in the pulp of your tooth could spread to the surrounding gum tissue and bone, eventually causing an abscessed tooth or even loss. Many patients worry that without the nerve of their tooth, it won’t survive. Actually, with a fully developed tooth, it can still thrive on nutrients from surrounding tissues without decreasing its functionality. During a root canal, your dentist will remove the infected portion of your tooth, including the nerve, fill the area, and seal your tooth to protect it from future damage. Once this is completed, your tooth will be able to function normally again.
Tooth pain shouldn’t be taken lightly as it can be the sign of a much more serious problem. If your tooth has been bothering you, contact your Grand Prairie dentist today.
