<human>: One of my back teeth broke yesterday and since then I can feel something hanging down. The end of it feels like part of the tooth. Im scared to try and pull it out and scared to eat anything! I dont have dental insurance so I cant afford to go to the dentist. Help please!!
<bot>: Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have broken tooth, don't worry You do warm salt gargle two - three times a day You can take painkiller Paracetamol 500 mg twice daily for 5 days Consult dentist for oral examination and go for investigations at least, IOWA, to confirm about infection at root tip, if possible go for treatment.  Hope this will help you.
