What Is The Treatment For Stucked Teeth Part After It Has Broken?
One of my back teeth broke yesterday and since then I can feel something hanging down. The end of it feels like part of the tooth. I'm scared to try and pull it out and scared to eat anything! I don't have dental insurance so I can't afford to go to the dentist. Help please!!

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have broken tooth, dont worry
You do warm salt gargle two - three times a day
You can take painkiller Paracetamol 500mg twice daily for 5days
Consult dentist for oral examination and go for investigations atleast , IOPA , to confirm about infection at root tip , if possible go for treatment .
Hope this will help you.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that one of your tooth broke yesterday and now some of its part is hanging it looks that root of the tooth is left .
You need to get this root removed by dentist only as it is not possible for you to remove it. But till you manage to go to dentist you can start with antibiotics and painkiller, to reduce the infection.
Hope it will help you.
