Was there a hanging piece of tooth? If yes, then it may not be able to be crowned without another procedure call Crown Lengthening. If no, then probably, the dentist can place a crown on top. 1/4 of the molar missing is actually not much and very treatable w/o a root canal even.
Does it hurt when you bite down? If yes, then it may need to be pulled. Many times a crack can trace down to the roots of our teeth when teeth fracture. Dentists can't leave fractures when placing a crown. When you bite down on it, it indicates that the crack may have travelled down to the root. If no, then again, it probably can be crowned.
Getting a tooth pulled is not as scary as people think. Most extractions can be done under local anesthesia and patients don't feel anything. They will, however, HEAR everything which can be scary. Depending on how long, if bone was removed, how you take 'post op pain', etc, your dentist will give you some good meds to get filled. 2 days tops and you'll be back to normal.
BTW, I'm 31 and recently had my wisdom teeth pulled. They were partial impacted (so they took some bone away), all under local anesthesia, and all I took was some prescription strength Motrin for post op pain. Just sore a little longer than our younger teenage counterparts, I'm sure.
Good luck and take care of your teeth! I meet a 22 yo guy who has partial upper and lower dentures due to decay!
They will either repair the tooth or pull it. Odds are they can fix it but it will be costly.
They might be able to put a crown on it. What happened to you sounds an awful lot like what happened to me last November and my dentist put a crown on it. If you have to get it pulled, it won't hurt. They will numb it up pretty good or you can ask for a general anesthetic, but for that you may have to see an oral surgeon.
I've had the same happen. There should be no problem repairing the teeth. Even if you have decay they can give you a root canal, which today hurts less than a filling. Your fine, dude.
depending on your oral hygiene and how much of the teeth is left, they will more then likely suggest crown for them. some people may call them caps. they are pretty expensive though. they run about 1,000 a piece so it will be cheaper for you to have them pulled if you cant afford it.
they'll probably fix it. both me and my bro have had chipped teeth before and they filled them up just fine. my brothers was REALLY bad too. as long as the chip isnt down to the nerve (i think your tooth turns black if that happens, but im no expert.) they should be able to fix it. good luck! =]
chances are you have an infection in your tooth, if your tooth is broken off theres probably old food in there. There is probably an infection in the root of the tooth. YOur jaw hurts because of this infection. You neeeeeeeeeeed to go to the Dentist and get a root canal, if you dont have enough money for a root canal you will at least need to see a Doctor to get a prescription like an antibiotic to remove the infection. The antibiotic is what your going to need first of all because any Doctor you go to will not give you a root canal until the infection goes away. Once it is gone the Doctor can give a root canal you want this because it will save your teeth. Although, if you cant afford it you can have the teeth removed and it doesnt hurt to have it removed all you feel is alot of pressure on yer face but once its out I can honestly tell you it feels soooooooooooooo damn good!!!!!! Right now, go buy some hydrogen peroxide and take at least 2tablespoons of peroxide and mix it with a half of glass of water, swish your mouth with the mixture let it foam up in your mouth this kills the infection then spit it out dont swallow it this will help. Also, go and buy some Ambesol to numb the pain it helps alot. Its alot cheaper to go to an Oral Surgeon tell him you have no insurance if you dont, they will work with you it usually costs $80 to have a tooth pulled. Good Luck!!!!
you need to see a dentist. i'm not quite sure what they will do but they will be able to fix it, they can fix just about anything now days. so don't worry, get an appointment soon tho
I had the same exact thing happen to me, the filling fell out and part of the tooth went with it. I just had a root canal last week, but my option was to pull it or get a root canal ( I picked root canal because my teeth are really horrible and I had two pulled a few weeks ago and I can't just keep getting rid of them). BUT- after 3 hours in the chair, they put the composit on and told me that they tried to save it, but I need to get it pulled because there was just not enough tooth left because of all the decay. It doesn't hurt to get teeth pulled, ou are just sore for a few days (ibuprofen works to help with the swelling). Just do NOT suck anything, you will get a dry socket and they are the worst pain you will ever feel in your life, ever.
