A tooth falls out. A small piece.

Causes of tooth loss include trauma, caries, tooth wear, etc.

1. Trauma, such

as falling, hitting, or biting hard objects, may cause cracks or fractures in the tooth.

2. Caries

Long-term decay may cause the tooth structure to weaken and a small piece to fall out.

3. Teeth wear

Long term molars or improper use of toothbrushes may cause wear on the tooth surface and make the tooth fragile.

Treatment methods for a small piece of tooth loss include fillings, crowns, root canal treatments, etc.

1. Filling

If the tooth loss is caused by caries, fillings can be used. The dentist will remove the damaged part first and then fill it with a suitable material.

2. Crown

For severe tooth damage, a crown may be installed to cover and protect the tooth. A crown is a custom" cap" that can be placed over the damaged tooth.

3. Root canal treatment

If the nerve of the tooth is damaged, root canal treatment may be needed. This is a process of removing damaged or infected pulp tissue, then filling and sealing the tooth.
