My two broken teeth

Published by

I broke two of my front teeth during an accident on an Okada. The Dentist I saw wants to remove the teeth and replace them with artificial ones. I don’t want this. Kindly advise me on what else I can do.

How your dentist will manage your case, will depend on the severity of the damage to your teeth.  If only a small piece of the teeth broke off, your dentist may repair the damage with a filling or bonding whereby some material called ‘resin’ may be used to fill up the damage part of the teeth. However, a badly damaged or broken tooth may require a more lengthy and costly procedure. Whatever you do, you must allow the Dentist to quickly treat you to avoid further worsening of your case leading to infection and pain.
