Tooth decay occurs due to build of certain strains of harmful bacteria like tartar and plaque. These bacteria release acids that eat away at the enamel of your teeth and leave small holes of decay behind called cavities. When a tooth is significantly decayed, the pulp of the tooth can then become exposed to the various bacteria present within your mouth. The pulp is a collection of soft tissue located at the center of each of your teeth. When the pulp is exposed to bacteria, the tooth then can become painfully infected. Some signs that you have a decayed/infected tooth include: increased pain and tenderness in that particular tooth, increased tooth sensitivity, and a gradual darkening or discoloration of the tooth in question. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with expert dentist Dr. Linda Ricks, who will decide which method that we use to
