An untreated cavity can lead to a tooth abscess. Untreated tooth decay also destroys the inside of the tooth (pulp), which leads to tooth loss. Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) increase the risk of tooth decay. Sticky foods are more harmful than non-sticky foods because they remain on the teeth.
Generally, an abscessed tooth will not have any response to cold tests (due to the tooth being dead) or electric stimulus. Your dentist will also take X-rays to look for erosion of the bone around the abscess. What are the symptoms of an abscessed tooth?
