Broken Tooth...?

I was playing basketball with my friend, he jumped to shoot, I jumped to pack(block)...





My elbow collided with his front tooth (left one from my point of view), and it broke in half.. His tooth kind of scratched my elbow...





So we found his tooth on the ground, my elbow is bleeding... It was broken in half and I don%26#039;t think there was much blood on his broken tooth that was still in the gum... He think its a permanent tooth...





Will the dentist be able to fix his tooth so it stays on? Like with porcelain... Because when I broke my tooth biking a chip came out and they covered it up with porcelain.. Will the same happen to him?... (He is 13..)





Thanks

Broken Tooth...?
The dentist will be able to fix the tooth with no problems. He won%26#039;t have to have it pulled or an implant inserted.....he wil be fine. You, on the other hand, should make sure you put antibiotic ointment on your arm because a human mouth is full of germs and a scratch or cut from someone%26#039;s teeth can cause you some major problems if not taken care of properly.

Reply:i had a friend who broke her front teeth in a pool and she just went to the dentist and got a filler put in for awhile but to make it permanent your friend will probably have to get caps

Reply:depends, if it is permenant, the doc will adhere either porcelain or composite (tooth colored filling) onto the tooth. if the tooth is knocked clean off in half, the chances of it being adhered back together are slim to none. your friend may need a root canal prior to having it fixed. no biggie though, since it wasn%26#039;t an infected tooth it won%26#039;t be as bad as i%26#039;m sure he thinks it is. root canals only hurt when the tooth is infected (because of Ph levels and anesthetic not taking). but he does need to go to the doc if he can see pink tissue (pulp or root) on the edge of his tooth... this could be extremely painful for him. make sure you get checked out too since your skin was broken as well. if your friend has a health condition such as hepititis you have a chance of contracting it.
Reply:His tooth can be fixed with a root canal and crown or an implant. Take him to the dentist right away so the Dr. can give u the best diagnosis for the repair of his tooth. He%26#039;s still young so he might just get away with a root cnal and crown.
Reply:It depends on the severity of the case. The dentist will have to determine the type of treatment.
