Broken Tooth
If you have a broken tooth or you brake your tooth, it will be extremely sensitive, and you will want to see a dentist or endodontist right away. The suggestion will most likely result in the dentist wanting to cover the tooth with a crown. These days, porcelain or resin crowns can look just as natural as a real tooth. If the tooth is completely broken, but the root is still in tacked, you may need root canal surgery. The dentist will build up enough of a structure to place a pin or post so that a crown can later be placed.
