What Causes Broken Teeth To Fall Off Without Root?
Hello, i have a broken molar, the dentist here treted it with some "cure" and put filing later, the filing was lost and the tooth become gray and lose, than it have broken in pices, and 1 hour ago i removed 1 pice by hand. blood spiled from the spot, but i see no root on the pice i removed (about like 1/4 of a tooth) just little pice of "meat" on it. Is it posible that this is a baby tooth?

Hello. i have gone through your query. there must have a large filling in that particular tooth and it must have broken due to insufficient remaining tooth structure. Now that the tooth is broken, it is better to visit the dentist as soon as possible to decide whether the remaining part of the tooth can be saved or removed. usually if the remaining crown is less than 25 percent, it has to be removed.
On the question of the possibilty of it being a baby tooth actually depends on your age. Usually all the baby teeth are shed off on its own by the age of 12-14 years. but there are situations where the baby teeth can still remain in the mouth after this age too. Hence it is best to visit the dentist to decide for the next course of action.
Hope this answer helps.

Chances are very less of having baby tooth. A radiograph will help to detect the lrft portion of tooth. If it s a primary of permanent that will also be cleared. Go for one iopa radiograph. And go for treatment so probably extraction

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The broken molar tooth can be a permanent tooth, consult a oral physician an d get it evaluated. If there is a fracture involving more than 60% of the tooth, then it has to be removed under local anesthesia. The bleeding can be because of the the detached tooth piece if the tooth is broken involving pulp or it can be because of the injury to the gums covering the tooth. The roots might be present within the bone. It has to be removed under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
