Broken teeth seriously affect eating
Teeth have a role to ensure eating function. When broken, it means that the complete tooth structure has been destroyed. That greatly hinders the process of performing the chewing function of the teeth.

If the molars are broken, the situation will be more dangerous. Because molars are teeth that chew and crush food. When a tooth is broken or lost, it will cause chewing on one side, leading to misalignment between the two jaws, affecting the temporomandibular joint. That is the answer to the question of what is wrong with a broken molar that many people are wondering.
Broken teeth increase the risk of dental diseases
When a tooth is broken, whether part or the whole crown, the tooth surface will also be damaged to a certain extent, creating cavities and grooves. Thereby creating an environment for many types of bacteria to reside, grow and harm teeth.
Broken teeth are also difficult to be cleaned carefully and properly, increasing the likelihood of dental diseases. Gradually, the rest of the broken tooth will also be destroyed quickly and cause permanent tooth loss.
Once a tooth is lost, it will lead to jaw bone loss, gum recession and affect adjacent teeth.

Fracture is different from tooth loss
People often use the word fracture to refer to the crown or root of a tooth that is broken horizontally or partially. At this point, part of the tooth root is still left in the jawbone. This part of the tooth root is either very solid, or has been shaken. Depending on the condition of the root of the tooth, the patient can carry out cosmetic porcelain crown or have to remove the whole tooth root to replant.
And tooth loss refers to the patient losing the tooth root and crown. In this case, only the dental implant method can completely restore the structure and function of real teeth.
When a tooth has been broken, if not treated early and properly, the risk of tooth loss is great.
