A “dead tooth” may sound alarming, but it’s a relatively common dental issue that can happen from tooth decay or infection. If you do have a dying tooth, don’t panic. Visit Dental Works for prompt attention.
How do you know if you have a nonvital tooth?
Here are some signs to watch for and why it’s important to address this condition.
A tooth is “dead” when the nerve inside it no longer receives blood flow. This can result from severe decay, trauma, or an untreated infection. A dead tooth cannot heal on its own and often requires professional treatment.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Dental Works right away. Early treatment options include root canal therapy to save the tooth or, in some cases, extraction to prevent the spread of infection. We’ll assess the tooth and help you determine the best treatment option. If we must remove the tooth, we will also discuss tooth replacement solutions to help you complete your smile.
