What do I do if part of my tooth breaks off?
I know I obviously need to go to the dentist; but they are not open right now. I will call them in the morning. I do not think I have a cavity on this tooth; but I was eating something and about a quarter of it broke off. It does not hurt, but it is cutting my tongue up. Does anyone know what they will do? Put a cap on it?
When I apply pressure from behind my tooth and then at the same time, apply pressure to the front.?
Answers:
They might put a cap or crown on it. They might fill it like a cavity. They might pull the tooth. It depends on the dentist and the shape of the remaining tooth. Don't wait too long or it will contiue to break off until there is nothing they can do. I should practice what I'm preaching...I have one that lost its filling and also has a sharp edge. See you at the dentist's office.

Ewwwwwwww.....they will need to pull it and put a fake tooth in, I forgot what they're called but they look like a normal tooth. WHAT WERE YOU EATING???
