A small piece of tooth fell out?

It is a very common phenomenon for adults to suddenly lose a small piece of tooth. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. The most common one is falling or accidentally hitting the tooth. Or maybe you are not paying attention when eating, the food is too hard, and the teeth use too much force, resulting in a small piece of the tooth being knocked off. After a piece of the tooth is knocked off, everyone will feel very uncomfortable. Can the knocked-off tooth grow back?

If a tooth falls out, will it grow back?

The first big tooth on the lower right side usually grows out at around six years old and stays with a person throughout his life. It will not be replaced, so it will not grow out in the situation you described. If a piece of your tooth is knocked off, and if the part is relatively small and has not touched the nerve, you can go to the hospital to have it fixed directly. The cost is generally around a few hundred dollars. If the tooth is quite large and is accompanied by severe pain, you will most likely need to go to the hospital for root canal treatment, which is what we usually call killing the nerve. After killing the nerve, a crown will be made to protect it, and then you can use it normally. Killing the nerve usually costs a few hundred dollars, and the price of the crown varies depending on the material, and the better ones can cost several thousand dollars.

The main cause of tooth fracture in patients is excessive force. If the dental nerve is not damaged and there is no pain caused by cold or hot stimulation, no special treatment is generally required. Moreover, based on your current age, your teeth will not grow again. It is recommended that you observe and if there is pain, you need to go to the dentistry department for root canal treatment.

The formation of tartar is related to poor oral hygiene. Black tartar often surrounds the neck of the teeth, mostly occurring on the lower front teeth, and can be removed through thorough dental cleaning and polishing. Teeth cleaning can thoroughly remove plaque, calculus and pigments deposited on the tooth surface that cannot be removed by ordinary brushing. It is an important measure to prevent and treat periodontal disease.

If you are sure that it is caused by tartar falling off, you need to go to the dental department for teeth cleaning and medication.

It is recommended that you go to the dental department for a check-up. If there is a lot of tartar, it is best to have your teeth cleaned. This can prevent long-term tartar stimulation from causing gum atrophy. If you smoke, in order to reduce the formation of tartar, you generally need to have your teeth cleaned once or twice a year. If you don't want to have your teeth cleaned, the discomfort will gradually disappear.

Therefore, after a tooth falls out, the only way to restore its normal chewing function is to fill it. When you first start filling, you will feel some discomfort in your teeth. At this time, you should insist on having your teeth cleaned once or twice a year. Only in this way will the discomfort in your teeth gradually disappear over time.
