Broken Tooth? Our Emergency Dental Services Are Here for You!

A broken tooth can happen unexpectedly, whether from an accident, chewing something hard, or other unforeseen causes. If you’ve found yourself in this situation, you’re not alone. At Lacewood Square Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies like a broken tooth can be stressful and painful. That’s why we offer prompt, compassionate, and expert emergency dental care to help you get back on track as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Why You Should Seek Immediate Treatment for a Broken Tooth

A broken tooth not only disrupts your smile but can also lead to more serious issues if left untreated. Here’s why it’s important to address a broken tooth as soon as possible:

1. Prevent Further Damage
   A broken tooth, especially if it exposes the inner layers (dentin or pulp), can be vulnerable to additional damage. If not treated quickly, it may lead to further fractures, decay, or even infection.
2. Avoid Pain and Discomfort
   A fractured tooth can be extremely painful, especially if the nerve is exposed. Prompt treatment helps alleviate pain, swelling, and sensitivity, preventing the discomfort from getting worse.
3. Protect Your Overall Oral Health
   A broken tooth can also affect surrounding teeth and gums, potentially leading to more complicated dental issues if neglected. Immediate care helps prevent further problems down the road.
4. Restore Your Smile
   Whether it’s a minor chip or a more significant break, our team can restore your tooth to its original function and appearance, so you can smile confidently again.

Emergency Dental Services for Broken Teeth at Lacewood Square Dentistry

At Lacewood Square Dentistry, we provide a wide range of emergency dental treatments for broken teeth. Depending on the severity of the break, we’ll recommend the best course of action to repair your tooth and get you out of pain.

1. Dental Bonding

For minor chips or cracks in the tooth, dental bonding is a quick, non-invasive solution. We apply a tooth-coloured resin to the damaged area and shape it to restore the tooth’s natural form. The result is a seamless and durable restoration that blends with your existing tooth.

2. Dental Fillings

If the break has caused a cavity or significant damage, a dental filling may be necessary to restore the tooth’s shape and function. We offer tooth-coloured fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

3. Dental Crowns

For more severe breaks, a dental crown is often the best option. A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance. We offer crowns made from porcelain, zirconia, and other durable materials, ensuring that your tooth is protected and looks natural.

4. Root Canal Treatment

If the break has exposed the inner pulp of the tooth, causing an infection or severe pain, a root canal may be necessary. During a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean the tooth, and seal it to prevent further infection. Afterwards, a crown is usually placed to protect and restore the tooth.

5. Tooth Extraction and Replacement

In some cases, a tooth may be too damaged to repair. If this is the case, we’ll discuss the best options for tooth extraction and replacement, such as dental implants or bridges, to restore both function and appearance.

Steps to Take After Breaking a Tooth

While you wait to receive treatment, here’s what you should do if you break a tooth:

• Rinse Your Mouth: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and remove any debris.
• Control Bleeding: If there’s bleeding, apply a clean cloth or gauze to the area and apply gentle pressure to stop it.
• Manage Pain: Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage discomfort until you can see a dentist. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth, as it can irritate the gums.
• Save the Fragment: If you can find any pieces of the broken tooth, save them and bring them to the dentist.
• Avoid Using the Tooth: Until your appointment, avoid chewing on the broken tooth to prevent further damage or discomfort.
