Can a badly broken tooth be fixed?

Broken tooth: It depends how badly the tooth is broken. Visit your dentist and get an assessment. You may need endodontic treatment (root canal, even a crown extension procedure and a crown (cap). But if the roots of the tooth are involved, you may have to have the tooth extracted.

It may be possible: It truly would be best for a dentist to evaluate the tooth. Only then can we all know for sure if the badly broken tooth can be fixed.
