A member asked:
I have a cavity in my lateral incisor i believe. i'm wondering what a dentist might to to fix it and a corner of the tooth fell out. what might happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation: It is so hard to say how deep that cavity is without seeing the tooth and a radiograph. The fix may be as simple as a bonded white filling, or as complex as root canal therapy, a post, and a crown. One thing's for sure... the sooner you have it treated the less invasive the procedure will be. Please call for an appointment.
