Have you ever seen a tooth that is become painful or changing colour? This might indicate a dying or dead tooth. Yes, you heard it right a dead tooth. 

Healthy teeth are so important to our oral health that even mild tooth loss and the resulting pain can be incredibly distressing, mainly if you can’t find out where it’s coming from. Cavities and other dental problems are often visible, but the dead tooth is not always easy to spot in early stages.

What is a Dead Tooth?

A tooth has three layers, i.e., enamel, dentin, and pulp. The Pulp contains the blood vessels and nerves. When the blood flow to the pulp is cut off, the tooth begins to die due to a lack of vital nutrients and oxygen. It is also known as necrotic pulp. The tooth will finally fall out on its own once this occurs. Waiting for this to happen can be risky, as the tooth can become contaminated and damage the jaw and other teeth.

What Causes Tooth to Die? 

There are many reasons for dying tooth. We will study it one by one. 

1. Tooth Decay

Due to the lack of proper hygiene or high sugar can cause cavities. If you left cavities untreated, the bacteria would infiltrate in pulp causes inflammation or dead tooth. The healthy pulp fight bacteria as long as it can, but if the infection continues for some time, the tooth becomes necrotic and can result in unbearable pain.

2. Tooth Trauma

Physical damage to the teeth may occur due to the fall or while playing any sport. The blood vessels become damaged, and blood flow to the teeth may cut off. 

Symptoms of Dead Tooth

1. Tooth Decoloration

A tooth that is dying or injured by trauma can lead to a change in colour due to the lack of blood supply. As the tooth dies, it turns in different colours, moving from yellow to grey and eventually to black.

2. Tooth Pain

While some people feel intense pain while others are not, this is due to the inflammation and swelling within the tooth places pressure on the periodontal membrane, the delicate nerve tissue around the tooth’s root.

Just like other parts of the body, your teeth also require proper attention and care. Here I am sharing some natural tricks that you can do on your own to prevent tooth decay.

1. Switch to a Healthy Diet

Switching to a better diet is always beneficial for your health. Highly sugar consumption causes tooth decay, and phytic acid may inhibit calcium absorption. Try to intake more calcium. It is the main building component of your bones and teeth. Avoid consuming sodas, juices, and fizzy beverages.

2. Maintain a Simple Oral Hygiene Regimen

Did you know almost 40% of adults only use a toothbrush for oral hygiene? Perhaps we don’t understand that our dental care isn’t up to scratch or should make changes. You must keep a few points in mind if you wish to preserve your teeth from early decay.

  • Brush your teeth twice a day. 
  • Use floss to extract any hidden food under gums.
  • Use mouthwash as it has antibacterial effects that help to get rid of any bacteria in your mouth.

3. Choose Right Toothbrush

Take a small or medium-sized brush and make sure it reaches the gaps of your molars, where food remains to hide while you eat. Don’t use cover for the toothbrush as they contain bacteria and microorganisms. Risen your toothbrush with water after every use and keep it in an open place.

4. Cleaning of Teeth

No matter how properly you brush your teeth but there will always be some areas where it is hard o reach. For that, do a monthly visit to the dentist and clean your teeth inside out. Deep cleaning is a significant step to fight against cavities.

5. Make Your Own Toothpaste

This basic toothpaste preparation only requires few natural ingredients that are readily available in every market. Along with that, you can be sure that all the components are safe and natural as you made it by your own. Here are the ingredients.

  • 4 tbsp calcium powder
