@puredentalhub: A rotten tooth can often be treated, but the right treatment depends on how much of the tooth has decayed and whether the infection has reached the nerve. Treatments for a rotten tooth 1. Dental filling If the decay is small or moderate and hasn't reached the nerve, the dentist removes the decayed part and fills the hole. 2. Dental crown If much of the tooth is damaged but the tooth can still be saved, a crown may cover and protect what remains. 3. Root canal treatment If decay reaches the nerve or pulp inside the tooth, the dentist removes the infected tissue, cleans the canals and seals the tooth. A crown may be needed afterward. 4. Tooth extraction If the tooth is too badly damaged to restore, it may need to be removed. Replacement options can include an implant, bridge or denture.
