What Are Painless Tooth Infections?

Tooth infections are normally painful. They can be caused by decay, fractures, misalignments, trauma or other underlying medical issues. But how exactly does a painless tooth infection occur? Keep reading to find out more.

Key takeaway:

–  There is no pain involved in the early stages of a tooth infection as the pulp has not yet been damaged.
