Broken teeth are subject to decay. Tooth decay is associated with other health problems such as Heart disease and perhaps even cancer. An exposed nerve would be very uncomfortable. See a health clinic about getting your condition remedied.
No, but it can kill a person that swallows it
I had a cracked tooth vertically and doctordrilled around part of the tooth and put on a temporary crown. It started hurting after I eat somewhat and the crown came off today and it hurts alot with cold. I put the crown back on withcement and am wondering if putting crown back on will make the nerve die. he said on the phone I probably had an exposed nerve. What is the next step?Do they just put the cap back on or is there another step before the cap if there is exposed nerve?
No, those are for infections. You want a pain killer like ibuprofen - take 800 mg every eight hours and see your dentist to see why your tooth is hurting. You might have cracked it or broken off part so that a nerve is exposed.
If the nerve is exposed, root canal therapy would probably save the tooth. You should see a veterinarian for a professional opinion.
I depends on how bad the tooth is chipped...if the nerve is exposed it could possibly led to infection and you will need to have surgery.
Most of the time they get sensitive because part of the tooth root is showing. Exposed root surface means that hot and cold feelings can reach the nerve of the tooth easier causing sensitivity from the nerve of the tooth. Brushing to hard, in the wrong direction or with whiting toothpaste can cause this sensitivity. This is not to be confused with pain when drinking or eating hot or cold things. Pain could indicate an infection in the nerve of a tooth. And needs to be treated with anti-biotics and root canal treatment or extraction.
You might think that a tooth's nerve tissue is vitally important to a tooth's health and function, but in reality it's not. A tooth's nerve tissue plays an important role in the growth and development of the tooth, but once the tooth has erupted through the gums and has finished maturing the nerve's only function is sensory, it provides the tooth with the ability to feel hot and cold.In regards to the normal day to day functioning of our mouths, the sensory information provided by a single tooth is really quite minimal. Dentists realize that on a practical level it is pretty much academic whether a tooth has a live nerve in it or not. If a tooth's nerve tissue is present and healthy, wonderful. But if a tooth has had its nerve tissue removed during root canal treatment that's fine too, you will never miss it.
The tooth fairy, which in reality is your parents, will collect the tooth, broken or otherwise.
The 'pulp' is the nerve of the tooth.
Well, no nerves in teeth would mean no dental pain. True, but no dental pain would also mean that when your teeth rot or gets broken , you would'nt know it or would'nt bother and finally you may lose them one by one and eventually be tooth less at an early age!ALL because you never felt pain. So the nerves and the perceived pain are all a protective mechanism that acts as an early warning system.
no
does brake fluid kill exposed tooth nerves?
