A broken or chipped tooth is a common dental emergency that requires prompt attention.
Immediate Steps for a Broken Tooth:
Chipped Front Teeth:
If the edge of a front tooth is chipped, the dentist will usually smooth out the uneven edge and restore the missing part using a tooth-colored composite material.
Broken Molar Teeth:
If a section of a molar's chewing surface is broken, the dentist will typically restore it with a **crown* or *filling* to restore function and strength.
Damage to the Dental Pulp:
If the break reaches the tooth’s pulp (with nerves and blood vessels), a root canal may be required. The dentist removes the damaged pulp, seals the tooth, and adds a crown or filling for protection and function.
