Why do teeth die?
Most of the time it is because of trauma. The tip of the tooth where the nearves and blood vessals enter the tooth are severed from a blow to the teeth.

After this process the empty space should be filled with post, a metal re-enforcement for the tooth to give it strength and cover the tooth with a crown to finish the reabilitation. The tooth will serve for a good while if looked after. Eagledentalclinic.com
