I have a broken molar and It is pointed and poking the insides of my cheek. What treatment do you recommend and how much would it cost?

Doctor's Answer

Hi there!

To answer your question fully, it would require a clinical examination and a probably a dental x-ray.

Small broken portion

If the broken portion is small, we can either smooth the sharp edge or replace the missing portion with a filling.

Large broken portion

If the broken portion is very large, a root canal treatment or sometimes even extraction of the tooth may be indicated.

I would suggest a visit to a dentist at your earliest convenience so that we can have a look for you and suggest the relevant treatment options for yourself! Hope this helps a little bit!
