Can a tooth be filled? How to treat?

Cracked, cracked, or chipped teeth caused by accidents or chewing solids. There are multiple levels of damage. It is necessary to be evaluated by a dentist to see if the tooth is broken up to the dental nerve cavity. The treatment method will depend on the damage that occurs. Fillings are only a basic treatment.

In the event that a tooth is fractured to the nerve cavity and left without seeing a doctor, it will cause tooth sensitivity, toothache, and the crack will be a source of germs, causing the bone to melt and be damaged until the tooth must be extracted eventually.

Types of broken teeth and methods of treatment

1. Enamel fracture is a fracture in the first layer of the tooth itself, so it usually does not have any symptoms, but it can affect the aesthetics.

2. Fracture at the level of the dentin layer, which is the inner tooth next to the enamel layer. When a tooth is cracked at this level, there is often tooth sensitivity, which can be treated with fillings, or in the case of severe tooth damage, it is treated with crowns.

3. Fracture of the nerve cavity This level is a significant loss of tooth tissue. There is bleeding from the tooth and pain, which requires root canal treatment. Dental spurs and crowns In some cases, there may only be cracks on the tooth itself. There is no loss of tooth tissue, but in fact, the crack spreads inward, deep into the dentin layer and nerve cavity. This causes toothache and tooth sensitivity. It is necessary to check if the tooth is still alive. If it is a dead tooth, the root of the tooth must be treated. Continue to insert the spurs and crowns.

4. Fracture at the root level At this level, there are obvious symptoms such as loose teeth, pain, and bleeding along the gum line. The dentist will assess the cracked location to see if the tooth can still be kept. Gum surgery may be required along with root canal treatment or use a tooth extraction tool according to symptoms.

How to relieve pain when a tooth breaks
