What to do if I just broke a piece of my tooth?

Ugh, no idea what to do about it, but sorry to hear you lost part of a tooth. I had a root canal and found out at the dentist that I was missing a chunk of molar, whether from decay or not, the dentist couldn’t really say.

I broke it while eating vegetable chips. I’m sure that was coincidental.

thedude, I’ve had 2 root canals, both a result of not taking care of a small problem right away … sort of like life itself. That’s one reason I’m going to have this taken care of a.s.a.p.

Root canals are almost as much fun as a kick in the nads, not to mention expensive.

Thank you for the support.

Grin & bear it. And start eating some of God’s Food. Not man made chips!

leave it its fine it wont harm anything i broke my tooth and when i got it fixed it broke again so just leave it

If you get a broken tooth, or if a filling falls out, GET IT TAKEN CARE OF by a dentist. Not an emergency, but any break or lost filling lets caries (fancy name for tooth decay) get a fast aggressive start. Within a month you will have a large cavity. In several months you can loose the tooth. The exterior of the tooth is the hardest part, and if that is missing it is bad news. I spent over $3000 on 2 teeth because I didn’t take care of a small ($50 ??) problem.
