If you have a diseased tooth, your dentist <\/a>will recommend treatment to help manage the problem and keep it from getting worse. Unfortunately, some dental problems are progressive and without treatment, they may worsen over time. Though no one wants to find out that they have a diseased tooth, it’s certainly not uncommon. Nearly everyone has some type of dental disease at some stage in life; it’s simply a matter of degree and probability. Unfortunately, without treatment, a diseased tooth can lead to further spread of cavities or gum disease or possibly become more medically advanced diseases, such as an oral cancer or a root canal. Thankfully, there are multiple options for treatment of the diseased tooth to minimize symptoms and keep your natural teeth as long as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a diseased tooth?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A diseased tooth is any tooth that has an infection or other condition that affects its health. The term \u201cdisease\u201d in this sense is not meant to imply any type of long-term degeneration or genetic defect, but simply a condition that is causing a problem in the tooth\u2019s structure or function. The most common causes of diseased teeth<\/a> include dental decay (also known as cavities), gum disease, and trauma to the tooth. Other less common causes include infected root canals, cracks in the tooth resulting from excessive force, cysts and tumors affecting the tooth, and a variety of less common diseases and infections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Periodontal Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease, you need to take better care of your gums. Also known as gum disease, this common dental problem is usually the result of neglecting to floss your teeth on a regular basis. The buildup of plaque-causing bacteria eventually leads to the development of gingivitis or periodontitis, the first stage of periodontal disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
