What should I do if I break a piece of my tooth?

A chipped tooth can be considered for resin or crown restoration depending on the size of the defect, and root canal treatment is also needed if symptoms of pulpitis occur. 1. Smaller defects. If the tooth is broken, if the defect is small and does not involve the pulp, resin filling can be considered to restore the normal shape of the tooth. 2. Large defects. If the chipped area is large and it is difficult to fix it with resin filling, you can consider using partial or full crowns for restoration after tooth preparation. If the defective part has already appeared pulpitis symptoms, you also need to carry out root canal treatment before crown restoration. If the tooth is broken, it is necessary to take radiographs to check whether the root and periodontal membrane are damaged, and if necessary, the tooth should be adjusted and ground for observation. It is recommended to actively seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s instructions.
