If the tooth nerve (pulp) is exposed, they 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.
Other causes of root abscess include discolored teeth, chipped teeth, dissolving teeth and severe bone loss.
Broken fang teeth are often caused by fighting, biting at hard things or being hit by a car.
