An 11 year old child with a broken tooth needs to see a doctor in time to check the part of the tooth that is broken, and depending on the situation, the tooth can be fixed by jaw adjustment, root canal treatment or tooth extraction.
1. The fracture is located on the gingiva: if the fractured part of the tooth is only the crown part of the tooth and does not reach the pulp cavity, the tooth can be adjusted and fixed for observation, and at the same time, the fracture can be repaired with resin. If the fractured part of the tooth exposes the pulp cavity, it is necessary to carry out root canal treatment to remove the pulp after jaw adjustment.
2. The broken part is located under the gum: if the broken part of the tooth is located under the gum, it can be fixed and observed by adjusting the jaw first, and if there are symptoms of pulpitis, it is necessary to carry out root canal treatment. If there is a root fracture or inflammation can not be controlled, need to be extracted as soon as possible.
It is recommended that children’s teeth are broken as soon as possible to consult a doctor for examination and timely treatment.
