If half of the tooth has been lost and half of the tooth is still missing, depending on the condition of the remaining tooth, you may choose to have a root canal treatment or extract the tooth.
1. Root canal treatment: If the remaining tooth tissue is relatively large, the tooth will be treated with root canal treatment first, and then crown restoration will be carried out in about two weeks to restore the tooth to its normal function.
2. Extraction: if the tooth is half lost and the remaining tooth tissue is small, the retention will be poor, in this case, it is best to extract the remaining tooth tissue, and then choose dental implants or other prosthetic restoration according to the situation.
If half of the tooth has been lost and half of it has not been lost, go to the hospital in time, take a root film of the tooth, determine the condition of the remaining tooth tissue, and then determine the best treatment plan.
