A damaged or infected tooth that doesn’t hurt sometimes indicates that the damage has completely destroyed the nerves. Remember that even a small amount of damage or decay can compromise the tooth’s structure, allowing bacteria to reach the dental pulp and cause infection.
Regardless of if your tooth is hurting you or not, if you suspect it has been damaged or infected, you should call Desert Hills Dental Care at (505) 327-4863 and schedule a consultation with one of our dentists as soon as possible. Our dentists will be able to determine how extensive the damage is and what the next step should be.
