Do You Have An Infected Tooth?

Symptoms of an Infected Tooth And what can I do to relieve the pain? What is an infected tooth? A tooth might appear to be hard, lifeless bone; however, that is just the surface. Underneath the outer layers of enamel and dentin are living nerves and blood vessels. Collectively, this area of the tooth is called the pulp. When a tooth experiences damage, decay, or has severe gum disease in the adjacent soft tissue, there is a possibility for infection. Most commonly, patients describe [...]

The Good News About a Root Canal
