If you nerve is removed from tooth will die?
If a nerve is removed from a tooth, the tooth will eventually die. This is because the nerve provides the tooth with sensation, allowing it to feel heat, cold, and pressure. Without a nerve, the tooth will not be able to sense these things and will eventually become damaged. In addition, the nerve helps to protect the tooth from infection by providing a barrier between the tooth and the surrounding gum tissue. Without a nerve, the tooth will be more susceptible to infection.
The process of a tooth dying after the nerve has been removed is called "root canal treatment." During root canal treatment, the dentist will remove the nerve and the damaged tissue from the tooth. The tooth will then be cleaned and sealed to prevent infection.
In some cases, a tooth can survive without a nerve if it is properly treated. However, it is important to note that a tooth that has had its nerve removed is more likely to become damaged or infected than a tooth that still has its nerve.
If you have a tooth that is causing you pain, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. The sooner the tooth is treated, the less likely it is that it will die.
