Could The Tooth At The Back Breaking Into Bits Be Due To The Damage?

Hi. i had my tooth out nearly a month ago now at the back ( last tooth ) now it has another one pushing up at the side and now every time i put my tongue near it... it ends up breaking into bits ? could it be another tooth has been damaged ? because this is what happened to me when i lost my other tooth due to it being completely broken in the middle.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
As you are mentioning that your tooth is chipping off, it looks that it is decayed that is why it has become brittle and breaking off.
Better you should go for restoration of the tooth otherwise if you will delay it then you have to for extraction of this tooth also.
So you should visit your dentist for the treatment.
Thank you.
