Is there any way I could save the tooth which is causing pain?
Q. Hello i had root canal treatment not long back – i ate something hard and chewy and part of my tooth has come off – its very painful , there is still some tooth there will the pain go away ? and is there any way i could save the tooth
A. Back teeth following root treatment are usually crowned to prevent splitting of the tooth. It is likely that the piece of tooth you have broken is still attached at the gum level and this is what is causing you pain. If this is so the dentist should be able to remove the broken part of the tooth and to crown what is remaining
