Dr. Guo Huijie
If half of a tooth is broken off, it is necessary to visit a正规 hospital for an examination. A detailed oral examination and imaging tests should be conducted to determine the cause and extent of the tooth damage. If a large portion of the tooth is missing, dental restoration or dental implant surgery may be required. If only a small part is lost, options such as dental filling or veneer restoration can be considered. After treatment, patients should follow medical advice for proper dental care, maintain good oral hygiene, and avoid chewing hard foods to prevent compromising the restoration results. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are essential to ensure both the function and aesthetics of the tooth.
