Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

The crown portion of my tooth had fallen a few years back, but the bottom portion was still intact and painless. But it has turned black now. What can be done?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

There are two options available. You can save it if the root is not resorbed and some part of the root can handle the crown. This method is called post and core building up. The second option is to get any tooth microtissue pulled without many complications. I request you upload the picture of the broken tooth.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
