I lock my jaw during sleep and busted my teeth how can i get this fixed?

Q. I lock my jaw during sleep and busted my tooth in the back, have of it is down to the gum, what will need to be done to fix this ?

A. Firstly, as you grind/clench at night- you need to sort out this issue with a night bite guard or a stabilistaion splint. Your toot that has been broken can only be restored depending on how much tooth is left – you may need root canal treatment and a core build up with crown. it is difficult for me to say without seeing the tooth in qusetion- so you need to at least see your dentist and discuss what options you have. if the tooth is causing you pain, then this needs to adressed ASAP.
