Causes And Treatment For Half Broken Molar ToothTooth decay and cavities are two factors that may speed up the natural wear and tear on your teeth. Consuming certain types of food consistently might generate an environment detrimental to tooth enamel. Teeth are meant to incise food however, they are susceptible to damage if an unusually tough substance is combined with the power of the jaw. However, this process might be sped up if you have the habit of clenching and grinding your teeth as you sleep.

Tooth decay and cavities are two factors that may speed up the natural wear and tear on your teeth. Consuming foods that are particularly sugary, sticky, or acidic frequently might produce an environment that is detrimental to dental enamel health.

A Dentist Can Treat A Half-Broken Molar Tooth


Seeing a dentist is your sole option for effective treatment of a molar tooth that is just partially fractured. They are qualified, have the appropriate equipment, and maintain a clean working environment to sterilize and rebuild your tooth.

Dentists can occasionally reconnect a tooth that has been fractured and bring it back to its healthy state. They use a bonding chemical to securely affix the two sections together. However, if the fracture is severe enough, the molar may not be able to be saved, and you can end up needing a crown or a filling instead. If the dentist cannot save the tooth, you may need a root canal procedure to remove the live tissues from within the tooth.
