What do i do about a broken tooth under gum line?

Asked by fau about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

Okay...I dont know whats wrong but im SO freaking out!!

I HATE DENTISTS, and im so scared.

I had this tooth, its a molar on my top right side, and they were going to do a root-canal procedure on it, but then nobody ever made me my appointment, (im only...

14), and everyone just neglected it, including me, because I have a fear of dentists.lol.
but anyways, its been bad for like, a year now.
and it started breaking off, so I just decided to break it off.
its been broken off above the gum line for almost a month now, and I think theres still parts of the tooth in the gum, liek the roots maybe?
like the gum surrounding JUST THAT TOOTH, hurts when I apply pressure to it, like pressing my tongue against it kinda hard.

What should I do?
what do doctors do to fix this? is it a really big deal?
Does it hurt?
PLEASE help me, im so lost, and scared...I hate this!

You should definitely go to the dentist. It sounds like it is getting infected which can lead to serious complications in your body, even leading to death.

You don't need to fear the dentist. They are pretty modern now and are able to numb you gums before even inserting a needle to numb the tooth's nerve. You may feel pressure, but not pain, when the dentist extracts the tooth. You also may experience soreness for a few days after the extraction, but the dentist can prescribe some pain-killer for that.

GO TO THE DENTIST -- it might save your life!
