Broken teeth can be very easily restored. Treatment options vary depending on how much tooth structure is lost. Rather how much tooth stucture is left. Ideal situation would be that the tooth is partially broken and not involving the meaty pulp inside the tooth, is not infected or decayed and there is no pain or mobility. Then the tooth can be restored with just a filling material. If you managed to damage it beyond this your options are to either save the tooth with root canal treatment or say good bye to it forever.
Next Steps
Get an intraoral examination and X-ray(radiograph) done at a dentist to evaluate the current condition.
Health Tips
