Teeth are made of living tissue that can die and cause a range of dental problems. Here are some common symptoms.
Key takeaways:
– Pain ranging from mild to extreme
– Changes to the tooth color, which can become grey, yellow, or even black
– Swelling and a bad taste in your mouth
You may not always be able to spot a dead tooth by just looking at it, so it’s very important to visit your dentist if you notice any of these symptoms.
