If a tooth becomes loose or broken after trauma, even if there is just a crack, it needs timely treatment. Do not delay treatment to avoid losing the best opportunity for treatment. Sometimes the fractured area of the crown is relatively small, and is often ignored by parents,
who delay medical treatment until the tooth turns black. At this time, the pulp is already necrotic, and the patient has to choose endodontic treatment that is complex, requires frequent follow-up visits, and is expensive. And the texture of the teeth is brittle, and the teeth are easy to break.
If you seek medical attention in time, a simple filling and repair may be enough.
