Suggest Treatment For Broken Tooth

I was poking my teeth when suddenly a piece of my front tooth yanked-out. At least, I think it was a piece of my tooth. I can feel a whole in the back of my teeth, but you can't see a whole in the front. The piece I pulled out had somewhat of a chalk-like feel to it.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have broken front tooth from palatal aspect dont be worried so much chalky tooth can be due to condition like fluorosis or due to nutritional deficiency .
I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of teeth and go for oral prophylaxis .
If this can be restored so for tooth colored composite restoration .
Inmeantime maintain proper oral hygiene .
Do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day.

Hope this will help you.
