Minor cracks can sometimes be fixed with composite bonding and cracks that extend below the gumline typically cannot be fixed with a crown.

The average cost associated with root canal treatment range in between $500 to $1000. It is definitely a better option available to consider, instead of going forward with a tooth extraction. Otherwise, you will have to replace the tooth.

Early diagnosis of cracks that start from the chewing surface and travel below towards the root is treatable with a root canal and crown. But if they extend below the gum line, usually, the only solution is to pull the tooth.

The majority of dentists are capable of extracting teeth with broken gums. Specialized instruments like elevators and forceps will be required to extract the remaining piece of the damaged tooth in these circumstances. Periodically, your gum tissue may need to be removed by the dentist to access the tooth.
