Teeth half broke
My single teeth is half broken horizontally so please tell me solution for that.. Should it be removed to fix a new one...
Hi you have three options. First visit the dentist take an xray of the same. If its sensitive or involving pulp you shd under go root canal treatment and thn crown. Second if its nt sensitive or not involving pulp thn get a composite restoration done. Third if the teeth is mobile (shaking) thn u can get it removed and go for implant.
Next Steps
Avoid chewing from that side.

Hello sir
Half broken tooth need not be removed.
You must visit a dentist and get an xray done. If it has approached the pulp(nerve of the tooth) then we have to go for ROOT CANAL TREATMENT, otherwise a simple restoration will do
Also an additional procedure called POST & CORE buildup would be required to reinforce the broken tooth and a CAP wud be advised after the root canal.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist
