Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I ate my dinner yesterday, and a bit of my molar tooth fell out from my mouth. I do not know whether it is a filling or an actual tooth. Around the area, I also had a lot of solid white bumps sticking out of the tooth. It looked like plaques. I am scared of dentists. I do not know what to do. Please help me.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It can be a fractured crown of the tooth due to a cavity. You should get an X-ray done to know whether it needs root canal treatment or it needs a simple filling. Please send a picture of it to guide you further and to make a diagnosis. It is better to get it filled as soon as possible. Do not be afraid of dentists.
