They can also be challenging to deal with, especially if it is the result of an accident or other traumatic event. When your tooth has a broken root, you may feel like there is not much that you can do. Fortunately, this isn\u2019t entirely the case. Whether you have a broken root on a <a href=\"http:\/\/sapteeth.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">permanent tooth<\/a> or your baby tooth has fallen out and left its root exposed, you still have options to deal with the issue effectively. Typically, when we refer to a broken tooth root, it means that the pulp canal containing vessels and nerves \u2013 has been compromised. So what exactly can you do? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#ba0c49;color:#fffffa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-acupuncture-for-broken-tooth-root\">Try acupuncture for broken tooth root<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the immediate goal with a broken <a href=\"https:\/\/sapteeth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tooth<\/a> is to try and stop the pain and bleeding, you also want to speed healing as much as possible. This can be difficult with a tooth that has suffered trauma, as it will be in a constant state of inflammation. Because acupuncture is all about bringing balance to the body, including the mouth, it can be an excellent form of treatment for a broken tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/single-sitting-root-canal.png\" alt=\"single-sitting-root-canal\" class=\"wp-image-444\" width=\"541\" height=\"251\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation, increasing blood flow, promoting healing, and improving the overall health of the gums. It is also a fantastic option if you are looking to avoid the use of medications. When it comes to the health of your gums, your best bet is to avoid drugs whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-a-root-canal-treatment-for-broken-tooth\">Get a root canal treatment for broken tooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your tooth is badly broken and you can\u2019t see any way that it can be saved, you may want to consider having a root canal done. Root<a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/how-much-do-root-canals-cost-at-a-dentist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> canals <\/a>are sometimes necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed, infected, or dies due to a broken tooth or tooth fracture. When the root has been seriously damaged, your <a href=\"http:\/\/chiragchamria.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dentist<\/a> might recommend that you have a root canal instead of a root filling or crown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Get to the Root of Root Canal Treatment | Cosmetic Smile Makeover - Ep 8 Dr Chirag Chamria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tvACOpanLhQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the best way to ensure that the tooth can remain healthy and functional. Root canal procedures are often done to save teeth that have been severely damaged due to decay, injury, or trauma. When a root canal is done, the dentist removes any bacteria or decayed tissue from inside the tooth, along with the pulp. They then clean the inside of the tooth and fill the cleaned-out root canal with special dental materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;background-color:#ba0c49;color:#fffffa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of cracked teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Craze lines.<\/strong> These are tiny cracks that only affect the outer enamel. Craze lines are common for adults. They are shallow, cause no pain, and are of no concern beyond the way they look.<\/li><li><strong>Fractured cusp.<\/strong> When a piece of a tooth\u2019s chewing surface breaks off, it\u2019s called a fractured cusp. It usually doesn\u2019t cause much pain.<\/li><li><strong>Cracked tooth.<\/strong> A cracked tooth means a crack extends from the chewing surface vertically toward the root. Early diagnosis is important in this case to save the tooth. A cracked tooth left untreated will get worse as time goes by and can result in a loss of the tooth. Early treatment is essential in saving cracked teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"998\" data-id=\"4957\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2021-02-08-at-5.46.12-PM.png\" alt=\"Broken Front Tooth\" class=\"wp-image-4957\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"548\" data-id=\"2845\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rc.jpg\" alt=\"root canal treatment\" class=\"wp-image-2845\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Human tooth anatomy dentistry medical concept as a cross section of a molar with nerves and root canal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"998\" data-id=\"4953\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Screenshot-2021-02-08-at-3.06.51-PM-2.png\" alt=\"Broken Tooth\" class=\"wp-image-4953\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Split tooth.<\/strong> A split tooth is usually the result of a long-term cracked tooth. It is identified by a crack with distinct segments that can be separated. A split tooth cannot be saved intact.<\/li><li><strong>Vertical root fracture.<\/strong> These cracks begin in the root of the tooth and extend toward the chewing surface. Often, they show minimal signs and symptoms. Many times, they are discovered when the surrounding bone and gum become infected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choose-dental-reconstruction\">Choose dental reconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dental reconstruction might be needed if your tooth was badly damaged, but the root was not broken. This is a common scenario among younger children who lose their baby teeth before their adult teeth have come in. If the tooth is decayed or has a large filling that makes it vulnerable to breakage, it is usually a good idea to have it extracted. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-17-at-10.21.47-AM-510x344.png\" alt=\"Tooth Root pieces\" class=\"wp-image-11006\" width=\"461\" height=\"312\" title=\"\"><figcaption>artificial tooth root\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the tooth is gone, however, you will want to replace it with a dental bridge. This is a great option if you want to keep your teeth intact but want an extra layer of protection. A dental bridge can replace a single tooth, or several teeth at once. It is often recommended for those who grind their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-have-a-root-canal-and-crown-to-save-broken-tooth\">Have a root canal and crown to save broken tooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the tooth root has been seriously damaged, you may have no other option but to have it extracted and replaced with a dental crown. You will likely want to do this if the root is decayed or broken in a way that it can\u2019t be fixed. If you have a root canal done on a tooth that still has a root, a crown is often recommended as a way to enhance the tooth\u2019s structural integrity. This is especially important if your tooth has been weakened by decay. If you have a root canal done on a tooth that has no root, you will likely have to have the tooth extracted and replaced with a<a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> dental <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/onedaydentalimplant.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">implant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Multiple Root Canal Treatment | How many visits will root canal take?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-RllYHo_Cxc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While having a broken tooth can be very painful and overwhelming, you don\u2019t have to deal with the problem indefinitely. There are many effective ways to handle a broken tooth, from root canals to dental reconstructions. The first step, however, is recognizing when a tooth has been broken. When you have a broken tooth, you might notice that the tooth is sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, and may be more likely to become infected. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should seek out treatment right away. A broken tooth should be treated as soon as possible to prevent infection and promote healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-099e01\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Suggested Article \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/pros-and-cons-of-full-mouth-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pros and Cons of Full Mouth Dental Implants<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/difference-between-crowns-and-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference between Crowns<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broken teeth are painful and can be very embarrassing.
