Now that this tooth has fractured, this patient will have to go see a gum specialist to have the gum tissue moved down the side of the tooth. The fracture was SO far under the gum there is no way to restore, or fix it. Also, there is the possibility of a root canal because the crack was close to the nerve of the tooth. Afterwards the tooth will need a crown to completely restore the tooth to proper function and replace the missing tooth structure.
