first you have to have your xrays taken to see the extent of the damage,especially on the root area.treatment depends on how it broke.since its above the gumline,a fraction of the crown might still be there.if the roots are still ok and is strong enough,a root canal can be done,finished with a post and a crown.at least its less expensive than an implant

A tooth implant. The dentist would have to remove the rest of the tooth inside the gum then screw a new tooth to the jaw bone. Or if there is enough tooth surface to work with they could put a porcelain veneer tooth in place with a special glue.

Both of mine broke like that when I bit a carrot one day at lunch and I had to get them pulled out. I hope you didn't wait too long like I did cuz I had a couple more break in the next few months. I had to get a lot of mine pulled out and now I'm waiting to get some fake teeth.

Most likely an extraction and an implant. I'd get into your dentist as soon as possible. If it was trauma insurance covers really well.

that happened to my friend. get a fake tooth, then a good porcelain venerist, to make it look normal, just like your other one and not fake

Well sounds like you waited too long. You put it in a glass of cold milk and take it with you to the hospital.
