Can A Cavity In The Gum And Broken Teeth Be Fatal?
I have a bad cavity that started as a hole by my gumline. As it got worse, one whole side of my tooth broke away. Now the top of the original hole has gotten to almost up in my gum. People have been telling me this can be be fatal. Is this true? If so, I'm broke and can't afford help.
thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the decayed tooth might cause infection and result in pain swelling difficulty in mouth opening. before that consult your oral physician and take a radiograph and check the status of the tooth. if sufficient tooth structure is there then it can be saved by doing root canal treatment. if it is gone completely then it has to go for removal under local anesthesia. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
