Im asking this on account of my friend, who doesnt have a yahoo account.  We were at school and she bites into a bun, SOFT bun.  All of a sudden, she starts screamin her head off.  I wuz like lemme see ur tooth, and i saw it.  it was a molar, and half of it was gone and the center of the tooth was bright red.  We thought it was blood, but it wasnt dripping or anything! PLEASE HELP WE ARE REALLY REALLY SCARED!

the pulp of the tooth is probably exposed which will be VERY painful. you need to go to the dentist and they will help you . she most likely lost a filling and the pulp of the tooth is exposed. they will fix it and put a filling back in if not too much of the tooth is lost.



   GOOD LUCK

I dont think that Brandy had the best answer at all. Anyone can say...go to the dentist. I hope your friend wasnt in too much pain.

OK...your friend needs to see a dentist asap but some of the boneheads on here do not realize the extreme pain that your friend is probably in. First of all. Have your friend rinse their mouth with luke warm water and SALT...make sure you put enough salt so that the water is cloudy and the sald completely dissolved. Rinse and Spit out...NOTE: This is going to Burn but it will help remove food particles and help with the open wound. Second. Have your friend take 4 Advil/ibuprofen. The brand you buy at the store is 200mg. Taking 4 is the equivalent of an 800MG prescription ibuprofen tablet. Third: If the pain goes away and you can wait until the am....make an appointment with the dentist...if not see if there is an emergency dental clinic in your area. It sounds like the molar cracked and the only way to get this fixed is with a root canal, post and crown or removing the tooth altogether.

Get a fresh wet tea bag and have her bite down on it between her teeth and hold it there. This will help with any pain and/or bleeding. Then get her to a dentist when they are open tomorrow!



I cracked a tooth on something "not even hard" and had to go to the dentist immediately. The dentist said it looked like I had been grinding my teeth in my sleep and had slowly weakened that spot till it suddenly cracked with hardly any pressure.

You were suppose to immediately go to the dentist to get it restored... Or you can get his tooth extracted.

get to dentist .teeth are very important to the face , nothing worst than a tooth ache.
