Put it under your pillow and the tooth fairy will come for it
Dying nerves (which I assume you've experienced, given the question) have a tendency of hurting. A lot. Dead nerves have a strong tendency of getting infected, which then brings you down the root of Tooth Abscesses and root canal and general dental hell. If your tooth nerve is dead, see your dentist. (S)He should remove the nerve and then fill the space left to re-inforce your tooth. Dead teeth also go dark-coloured. :(
The 'pulp' is the nerve of the tooth.
It is a tooth that the root has been damaged and is "dead"
you may have injured the nerve for that tooth, it's best to see a dentist, it won't take long to see what the issue is and its a lot better than losing the tooth.
Beats me.
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.
It usually only takes 8 to 10 hours for your tooth to stop hurting after you have a cavity filled. You can take an over-the-counter pain medication to help ease the pain.
Yes, a dead tooth can cause or trigger a headache.
he nerve
Yes the tooth's nerve is in the roots and ends in the crown of the tooth. Extracting a tooth will remove the nerve. It is important to discuss different treatment options with a dentist because sometimes a root canal is the preferred treatment and sometimes extraction is more appropriate. Not all teeth need to be replaced but if the tooth is important for function, bite stability, or esthetics than tooth replacements such as dental implants or fixed bridges become important options to consider.
The part of the tooth that has the nerves in it is right under the crown of your tooth ''aka'' the top part of your tooth and they travel down into you gums hope this help's
Go to the dentist! You can not run around with a infection in your tooth. If you think you have a infection in your tooth that is enough reson to go to the dentist. They know if a nerve is infected or inflamed. -------- Even if it is inflamed that means that the dental nerve is infected with bacteria, and if left untreated it can lead to gangrene and root treatment.
