1. The thing you can do is not eating at that side,
and do not eat/drink hot/cold food since your tooth may be very sensitive. Try not to touch the fracture suface since there may be pulp (tooth nerve) exposure. If you have spontaneous pain, take 1 to 2 tab of panadol (usually 500mg) 4 times a day but no more than 8 tabs a day.
2. Visit dentist immediately after public holiday.
3. Save the tooth if it is still savable. Usually, saving the tooth is better than extract a tooth, and the job of a dentist is to save a tooth as far as possible.
4. Fracture tooth usually needs a crown. If there is pulpal exposure, root canal therapy is needed.
5. Extract a tooth usually costs you a few hundred dollars only. But it will costs you much much more later when you try to replace it with a false tooth or implant. Saving a tooth (eventhough it need Root canal therapy and crown) is much more cost effective!
補牙-----just to fill the tooth with filling material. It is simple, fast, cheap. It can be done in one dental visit, but it can't be done if the defect is large and do not offer protection for the remaining tooth material.
牙套-----A Crown is needed if the defect is large. The tooth needs to be prepared and an impression is taken to send to dental lab for custom making. It will have protection for the tooth against further tooth fracture. Usually, it can be done in two dental visit. Of couse, the cost will be higher.
