Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My premolar tooth is broken, do I need root canal treatment?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
In the case of a broken tooth, first, we need to check the extent of the fracture. If you have only sensitivity then the fracture may be only up to dentin so permanent filling is enough. But, if the fracture extends up to the pulp then you can have pain which means it will go for root canal treatment. We can confirm it only after seeing the X-ray.
