Do I need a root extraction? (Photo)

February 8, 2024
Asked By:Adventurous779170 in Poplarville, Kentucky

I’m a black 20 year old male that’s athletically fit. The other day I was eating some food when the first pet of my tooth Chipped off. Afterwards my gum and tooth started to ache up until the day that my tooth came out of my gum as I was eating some food. Do I have to get surgery or a root canal extraction?
