I have dental insurance and will go on monday. I was wondering what if possible can be done. IT is my front tooth. I was eating and it broke really far up..It had a crown on there from years back.

If it's a crown, then there's no need to put it in milk. Just how really far up are we talking about? Is the root involved? If it is just the crown with no actual tooth being broken off, then your dentist can just cement it back on (probably not for free though). If a part of the root came along with it then you'll need root canal and a post along with cementing that crown (if it's in good condition). Hard to tell without actually looking at your tooth.

put it in milk if it has a root but schedule an appointment for the dentist to evaluate whether there are underlying cracks or other damage you can't see. She can also repair the tooth by filing it or patching it with bonding material, if you decide it's important for cosmetic reasons.

Soak your tooth in milk and schedule an urgent session with your dentist.
