Dental injuries can be very varied – crown fractures with/without nerve involvement, tooth root fractures, tooth contusions, etc.What if a fracture of the crown has occurred?

The best option is to keep the broken piece of tooth, as it may be possible to glue it back (Remember that nothing is better than your own tooth).

It is important to see a dentist immediately (within 24 hours) to assess the complexity of the tooth injury. The dentist will assess whether the nerve of the tooth is affected and will also take x-rays to assess the root of the tooth.

If there is an uncomplicated fracture of the crown, it may be possible to restore it by gluing the broken piece of tooth back into place. If the broken tooth piece could not be found, then a cosmetic filling will be able to solve the problem.
