My front tooth got broken around 15 years ago. I am of 25 years. What are the treatment options available to make it full?
Sorry for my bad english.

It depends on where in the tooth it was fractured. If the pulp is exposed (a small dot that looks like a drop of pink blood) then you will likely lose the tooth. Many time we have to do root canals then. If the pulp is not exposed then the tooth can be reconstructed to look almost like new with a procedure very similar to putting on 'caps'.
Either way you need to be seen by a dentist in a relatively short amount of time. If the tooth is causing you pain you can buy over-the-counter tooth sealant until you can be seen by a dentist which will help.

the best treatment for your front tooth might be root canal( a surgery that take out the nerve in the tooth). Second option you may want to extract your front tooth (removal).

I prefer to leave it that way. It is more natural....
But if you really want to make it full, the dentist will bond ceramic or porcelain material to the front tooth...
Never remove any structure of the natural tooth. Never take out any of your natural tooth.
You want to save all your natural teeth...they are invaluable and nicest than any fake teeth...

Get to the dentist ASAP. It will start decaying and end up costing more if you wait so get in and let them cap that before the root gets involved and you have to have it pulled. I have always had a fear of something like this happening to me so I feel for you. Take care and get treated now.

CAPS, VENEERS, BONDING
