When there is nerve damage that isn't from trauma, it is associated with a bacterial infection. Most often this is associated with a large area of decay that approaches or reaches the pulp chamber which houses nerve tissue. Brushing plays an important preventative role in keeping this from happing. If the decay reaches the dentin, which is the layer under the outer white enamel, it is time to have the decay removed and a filling placed to prevent the tooth from dying.
