Can a tooth cracked below the gum line be fixed? (photo)

colagirl44Oct 23, 2018
The back of one of my front tooth has broken at the very bottom (past the gum line). I had a tongue ring a while back and my dentist explained that as a result of me rubbing it against the back of my teeth where my gums covered the roots - my gums have receeded. Now, one of my teeth has chipped and there’s a space between where my tooth now begins and what gum that is left. Is there anything that can be done about this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It usually takes more days than 3 to have a considerable amount of shifting, so it could need reprep.  I recommend you to see your dentist or somebody from the staff Monday.
