Our teeth can suffer from injuries or cavities that cause them to die. Symptoms include discolouration and pain. A professional dentist will be able to provide an accurate diagnosis. How will the dentist treat a dead tooth once it has been discovered?
- A x-ray will be performed to determine the extent of the damage.
- Assuming the exterior of the tooth can be saved, a root canal may be performed.
- In severe cases, the tooth itself could need to be fully extracted.
"If the dentist is unable to repair the tooth, they may have to remove it."
