In a fall, my tooth broke off in half. How can this be fixed?
This is a common occurrence especially with kids and teenager when playing sports. It is a true emergency because most people get embarrassed by the hole that is created and who wants to be seen like that? There is no simple answer. It depends on how hard to the tooth was hit, how much of the tooth broke off. Most of the time a white filling can be bonded to the tooth to make it look like a tooth again. The treatment is different when there is a lot of trauma to the tooth. The nerve could be damaged a root canal will have to be done to save the tooth and prevent an infection. READ MORE
