Answer 1

I broke a tooth clean in half when I was 11 and the dentist put a new cap on it and it is as good as new. As for your tooth I would suggest going to the dentist and asking. He will be able to advise you best on how to prevent it happening again

Answer 2

Yes when a tooth is broken there will come another tooth in the place of the one that is broken.

Answer 3

Heya AJ is wrong,

Means your 14 this is your second set of teeth right? If this is your second tooth once removed or once you loose it you wont get another one to replace it. But if it is removed the dentist can replace it with another tooth ( a fake one but it really looks like your real one). So dont worry you wont end up with an empty gap. If you have cracks as bad as you say you do there is a possibility a high one at that your tooth would be removed but this is as a last resort they will try and mend it before extraction is even a possibility. So it looks like they may have to take it out have a word with the dentist though about a tooth that can replace that one it is very much worth it!. The dentist could give you alot of advice on how to prevent this happening again, if you would ask him/her.

Hope i helped and good luck
