I agree with what Dr Jaclyn has said, crowning. But if time is a concern and I can’t crown it for you at this moment I think another immediate thing that we could do is to put a band over the tooth to sort of hold it in place. That’s like short-term management, just to get you out of pain.
A metal band, it’s like a ring around your tooth. If you had worn braces, some of you may have had it at the back tooth. But then right after that you just really need to come in as soon as possible to get a crowning done. If not the tooth may not be saved. If the crack goes deeper into the root you’ll need to extract, do a crown and bridge, or implant.
And I think dental problems, especially when it comes to more complex cases, time is of the essence. The longer you wait, the more complex the work becomes. It may take longer to complete the treatment as well, and you can imagine. Negligence is expensive.
