Broken Tooth Treatment in India

Karan Saxena, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been diligent about his dental health. The trouble began when he bit down on a hidden olive pit in a pizza during a team lunch. A sharp crack and immediate, intense pain in his lower left molar signaled disaster. For a week, he managed with over-the-counter painkillers, but the tooth became sensitive to temperature and pressure, making eating difficult. His dentist, Dr. Sharma, explained that the fracture extended below the gum line, making a simple filling impossible. The recommendation was a dental crown, which required preparing the tooth and placing a temporary crown before the permanent one was fitted. During the procedure, Karan was anxious but numbed effectively. The sound of the drill was the worst part. A week later, his permanent ceramic crown was cemented. Recovery was smooth, with minor sensitivity fading within days. Emotionally, Karan felt foolish for the accident and stressed about the cost and time. Afterward, with full function restored and a natural-looking tooth, he felt relieved and vowed to be more cautious, grateful for a modern solution that saved his tooth.
