Avoiding a Dead Tooth

Once the blood supply to the inner pulp and underlying nerves has been disrupted, a tooth will “die”. The two biggest causes of a dead tooth are trauma and decay and, while there is little that can be done to prevent accidental damage, following a good dental care programme can significantly decrease tooth decay.
– Brush the teeth regularly using fluoride toothpaste
– Use an interdental toothbrush to clean between the teeth
– Schedule regular check-ups with your dentist
