I broke my f*king tooth! Now what?!
Question:
I broke my f*king tooth! Now what?
Two weeks ago I literally fell flat on my face and my open mouth hit the pavement. Shockingly, even though it really really hurt, the front tooth that I hit didn't chip or break.
Today, I was biting my nails when a large chunk of that same tooth broke off into my hand. I'm going to the dentist tommorow.
What are they going to do to fix it?
Answers:
Be prepared for possible Root Canal treatment that may be needed due to the trauma. The nerve may not be exposed, but the damage could be enough to irritate the pulp (nerve).
If this is the case, a post will be needed along with a crown (cap) to restore the tooth.
BTW, I learned in dental school that there are Incisor, Bicuspid, and Molar teeth, but no f*king ones!!!!!!!!!! :o)
(Sorry, I just had to throw that in -- good luck with your appointment. Hope it goes easy for you).
