I got hurt my tooth
Hello Doctor,
Today while having my dinner I accidentally bite the spoon due to which my front lower tooth got slightly hurt and is very lightly shaking. Will it repair itself ? Should I start consuming more minerals like calcium, Vitamin D and phosphorus. I just took one Ketorol - DT tablet.
Please help.
