Hello sir,
Fractured teeth can be restored to its form and function by doing a root canal treatment ( rct ) and capping ( crown ) . It's always good to preserve your natural teeth. Please visit a dentist and have your tooth checked and please follow your dentist s instructions to save your teeth.
Root canal treatment have high percentage of success. Even log term decayed tooth and fractured tooth can be restored to its original form , strength and function .
If the amount of fracture it more your dentist might advise you to extract your teeth . If so extract your teeth and replace using dental implants .

You should visit a dentist as soon as possible before symptoms appear in the tooth. The treatment can vary from simple filling to root canal treatment followed by a crown.
