Answers:
Go get it looked at sooner than later!. If there was any decay in there that helped it break you want to get it cleaned up & restored asap, otherwise the decay could get into the pulp (nerve/blood supply of the tooth), then you'd be a candidate for a root canal, which isn't the end of the world!. The horror stories are often from people who ignored a cavity/sore tooth for a long time & then it 'blew up' & got super sensitive on them!.

The dentist can give you all sorts of treatment options!. As the others have mentioned, there's bonding, veneers and crowns (aka caps)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know how old you are, but what you are referring to is called a 'peg' lateral!. If you were ever to get braces it is likely your orthodontist would want it bonded up to look normal or pulled and replaced with an implant!. If I was in your position I would want it pulled and replaced with an implant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had that happen to the 4th tooth back on my upper left side, I had to have the rest of the tooth removed, and my dentist made me a retainer with a tooth on it, I wore it for 10 years, and just had a new tooth put in its place 2 years ago!. see your dentist, get a retainer!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

do not get it bonded,both of my front teeth have been bonded and i have had nothing but trouble, caused more damage than good, my recommendation is to see about getting a cap or having a veneer but on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
