If the tooth nerve (pulp) is exposed, the dog will be in pain every day until the tooth is treated either by extraction or root canal.
The exposed nerve gets infected and the infection spreads to the root, causing a root abscess.
Discolored teeth, chipped teeth, worn teeth and teeth with severe bone loss can develop abscessed roots.
