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. The inside of the tooth becomes what we call neucrotic. The treatment for this type of problem is to do a root canal, which is cleaning out the dead roots of the tooth disinfectind and condition it and putting what is called glutapercha which is like Teflon to seal the roots up. 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.
