Best Answer

a tooth becomes diseased or injured, bacteria build up inside the pulp, spreading infection from the natural crown of the tooth to the root tips in the jawbone. Pus accumulates at the ends of the roots, forming a painful abscess which can damage the bone

The tooth will die if the extent of tooth decay is too serious. Visit a dentist and remove the dead teeth immediately to prevent gum and other infections.
