Frequent tooth pain
I've been suffering with tooth ache. There is a cavity in my tooth and it is half broken. Frequently I am suffering with tooth pain. Is it better to remove the tooth or is there any alternative.?
Your tooth can be preserved with proper treatment by a dentist and will be described to you by your dentist only as per the condition after oral examination. Even the half broken tooth can be brought to normal working conditions through means of proper treatment.
Extraction is not advised as extraction leads to bone loss at the site of extraction and may lead to several other problems like shifting of teeth and other problems as well.
Next Steps
Please get your self checked at a dental clinic.
Let your dentist decide the best course of treatment for you.
