Understanding Dead Teeth
Your tooth is dead if no blood is flowing to it or it has dying nerves. Here are the causes, symptoms, treatments and prevention methods for dead teeth.
Key takeaways:
– Symptoms include swelling, bad odour, bad taste, discolouration and pus build up in the pulp cavity.
– Non-vital teeth are caused by untreated tooth cavities or trauma from falls that cut off blood supply to type.
– Your dentist can either perform root canal therapy or extraction, where damage is severe.
Prevention includes quality oral hygiene and regular checkups by the dentist.

She believes that restorations (fillings/crowns/veneers) should look beautiful – and that they should last. Dr. Little keeps abreast of new developments in restorative dentistry through post-graduate training.
Dr. Little is also an experienced Facial Aesthetistician, including Botulinum toxins (such as Botox) and Dermafillers. She appreciates how simple and subtle changes to smooth and relax muscles can “freshen” a face, to look younger.
In her personal time, she loves to cook, read, run, practice yoga and pilates, play a bad game of tennis and am now learning to play golf. She loves Art and Theatre and support the Tate Modern. She also enjoys writing and has a book in the works.
