Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

This happened this evening. I just need some guidance on what I can use to hold this crown together until I see the dentist. It is the front teeth, so if I open my mouth, the view will not be pleasant. I am currently taking Propranolol 60 mg daily.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Upon review, I think it is a tooth fracture. Please provide me with pictures or more details of presenting the complaint.

Elaborately these are to be done.

a) Tooth fracture if front teeth can be restored with composite. You can preserve the fractured segment of the tooth, preferably in milk, until examination.

I would suggest a tooth vitality test. I think it is an Ellis fracture. The prognosis would be fair, in my opinion.

Thank you.

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