Our experts from the department of oral medicine suggest you to kindly visit your dentist at the earliest to get your third molar removed, and first and second molars treated according to the clinical and radiological evaluation. Caries, and not any deficiency, is the cause of breakage of the tooth.

Tooth has broken because of caries. Caries has made tooth weak by undermining enamel and dentin (outer and middle layer of tooth). As can be seen in photograph your wisdom tooth is also carious.visit dentist start treatment.
