Front teeth chipped
One of my front teeth chipped due to an accident. From the front, only 20% of it is gone, but at the back, it is almost 50% broken. I wanted to know if I would require an RCT or just filling would work. Also, the timeline for RCT.
Hello
At times after trauma the teeth become nonvital from inside so if needs to be checked clinically and xray needs to be taken.In case the fracture line is very close to the nerve than RCT is advisable so kindly get it checked asap because broken tooth later develop lesions at the root ends and color change can be also be seen at a later stage.you can also call for further assistance and appointments.
