[|Human|] My sons front tooth was broken in two a couple years ago and glued back together right away. The repair just failed and Im wondering how to store the piece until we can see a dentist tomorrow.  I remember something about milk, wondering if it has to be whole milk and if I then put in refrigerator?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for the query. The tooth can be saved only in case if the tootChatDoctores out as a whole like with the root and crown portion all intact in a single piece. But as your tooth is broken and is not in one piece therefore, it has to be replaced with artificial tooth or dental filling as the broken piece is of no use and gluing it back will not help in any way. So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated along with x-ray of tooth. If the nerves are not exposed then simply filling or capping can be done. If the nerves are exposed then root canal treatment followed by capping can help. Hope this helps. Regards.
