Have you ever bitten down on something, only to hear an unpleasant crack? A cracked or broken tooth is a dental emergency.
Your front teeth are essential for the functioning and appearance of your smile. With our restorative services, we can repair the damage and prevent further tooth decay. If you have broken teeth, don’t be embarrassed—this injury is quite common. However, that doesn’t make it less urgent. This issue won’t resolve itself without help—the only way to fix broken teeth is to call an emergency dentist. At Edmonton Emergency Dentists, we can save your tooth from further damage.
Your comfort and well-being matter to us—let’s take care of your dental health together.
The appropriate treatment for a cracked or broken tooth depends on the severity of the damage. In some cases, a minor crack or chip may be repaired with dental bonding or a filling. For more extensive damage, a crown or dental veneer may be necessary to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance. In severe cases where the tooth’s structure is compromised, a root canal or extraction may be recommended.
Not all cracked or broken teeth require surgery. The treatment approach will depend on the extent of the damage and the underlying cause. Minor cracks or fractures may be addressed with non-surgical treatments such as fillings or bonding. However, if the tooth is severely fractured or infected, surgical intervention such as a root canal or extraction may be necessary.
In many cases, it is possible to save a cracked or broken tooth with appropriate dental treatment. However, prompt intervention is crucial to prevent further damage or infection. If you suspect you have a cracked or broken tooth, contact our clinic immediately for evaluation and treatment options.
To help prevent future cracks or breaks in your teeth, it’s essential to practice good oral hygiene habits such as regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Additionally, avoid biting on hard objects such as ice, pens, or hard candies, and wear a mouthguard if you participate in activities that pose a risk of dental injury, such as sports.
Our experienced Edmonton dentists offer emergency dental services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you don’t have to wait.
