Here’s What You Need To Do:"},"content":{"rendered":"

You are eating some food, and suddenly you feel some discomfort in your mouth. Then you find one of your teeth has been broken. Now upon close checking, you see the tooth broke off root still in. If so has happened to you, then you must take the necessary step as early as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not safe to leave a broken or half-broken tooth<\/a> in the mouth. That\u2019s why you must check this article, as it answers what you need to do when your tooth breaks off, but the root is still in your gums. So, let’s learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does your tooth break?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A tooth may break due to several reasons, such as if you got some injury, then it may happen. For example, if you are a sports person and if you get a hit on your face, then it may damage your tooth. The habit of eating hard things such as candies or ice may harm your teeth by damaging the tooth enamel<\/a>. The lack of tooth enamel results in tooth break.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when this happens, you can feel pain while eating something<\/a>. You may feel sensitivity while taking some hot or cool food or drink. Sometimes you may feel some temporary pain in your tooth<\/a>. All these are the signs of a tooth break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it safe to leave a broken tooth root at the gum line?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sometimes, you may feel that you should let the broken tooth remain untreated as it is not troubling you. If you are thinking the same, then you must think twice. A broken tooth gets separated from the gum line, but it leaves its root behind the gumline. It may not generate any pain or other issues, but if that happens, then you must consult your dentist as early as possible. The root can cause several oral health issues in the future. The dentists will support you to eliminate the chances of oral health issues<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The inner part of the teeth is contained with several pulp and nerves. These oral components help you to deliver nutrients for keeping your teeth and gums protected from several bacterias<\/a> that can cause infections. Whenever a tooth breaks off at its gum line, the inner part of the teeth gets exposed. So it increases the chances of infections. Therefore, it is not safe to leave a broken tooth untreated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What if a molar broke off its root at the gum line?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A broken tooth is considered one of the dental emergencies. If your molar<\/a> broke off, then you must visit an orthodontist as immediately as possible. A broken molar will enhance the chances of several dental complications like infection, nerve damage, and abscess. The tooth infection may affect your bones as well. Sometimes, it may lead you to a jaw bone infection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The orthodontists may suggest you reattach the broken fragment of the tooth. If your tooth pulp gets exposed, then the dentist may go for root canal treatment along with reattaching the broken fragment. Tooth extrusion<\/a>, filling, or crowning can help you to get rid of the problem. Sometimes doctors may prefer tooth extraction<\/a> or tooth replacement to cure your broken tooth. You will get more details of the treatment in the following section of this article.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment when the tooth broke off, root still in:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first and foremost thing is if your tooth breaks off and the root is still in the gum line, then you must properly maintain oral hygiene. Brush your teeth adequately but provide some extra care to the broken tooth and brush it gently. These will help you to maintain the initial care.<\/span><\/p>\n

The orthodontist will suggest one of these below treatments as per the severity of the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n
