When a tooth is cracked half strong and half loose, it is necessary to take a picture to check the cracked area first, and depending on the area, take a jaw adjustment and fixation observation or carry out tooth extraction.
1. Fixed observation. If the cracked part of the tooth is located at the tip of the root, the tooth can be reset, adjusted and fixed for observation, and some of the fracture can heal itself, and if there are symptoms of pulpitis, root canal treatment is needed.
2. Tooth extraction. If the cracked part of the tooth is in communication with the gingival sulcus, it is necessary to extract the loose part of the tooth, and then evaluate whether the remaining firm part of the tooth can be retained; if it can be retained, it can be restored with root canal treatment and pile nucleus crown, and if it cannot be retained, it will be extracted.
It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid the spread of inflammation and damage to other dental tissues.
