A member asked:
Is there anything i can do at home to help a partially cracked molar without seeing a dentist? it's not fully split, only pulls away when wiggled.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fractured tooth: No home remedy. If you want help, see a Dentist. That's the ONLY way to determine the extent of the damage and the appropriate treatment. There is no OTC pill, poultice, glue, snake oil, homeopathic, gargle, paste, tape, or string that is effective, let alone safe. Your Dentist has over 10,000 hours of professional school, a raft of post-graduate courses, and years of experience, to help you.
