A broken tooth can be painful and affect your appearance. At CLINICA SMILE, we offer professional help to repair broken teeth and restore the smiles of our patients. Our dentists have the experience and expertise to handle different types of broken teeth.
What is a broken tooth?
A broken tooth is when part of the tooth has broken off. This can happen due to a trauma or when chewing hard food. A broken tooth can be painful and also lead to sensitivity or infection. It is important to seek help from a dentist as soon as possible if you have a broken tooth.
Symptoms of a broken tooth
The symptoms of a broken tooth can vary depending on the severity. Common symptoms include pain when chewing or talking, sensitivity to hot or cold drinks and food, and swelling or pain around the tooth area. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your dentist as soon as possible.
How can we treat a broken tooth at Clinica Smile?
At CLINICA SMILE, our dentists will first examine the tooth and determine the severity of the damage. If the tooth is only slightly cracked, we can usually repair it with a filling or a veneer. If the tooth is more severely damaged, we may need to fit a crown to restore the tooth's functionality and aesthetics. In some cases, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth. Our dentists will advise you on the best treatment for you.
What can I expect after treatment of a broken tooth?
After treatment of a broken tooth, you may experience some pain and discomfort. It is important to follow the dentist's instructions about taking pain medication and avoiding hard food and chewing on the broken tooth. It is also important to maintain good oral hygiene to avoid infection and future problems.
Dental Health Tips:
- Brush your teeth properly: Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Use a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen tooth enamel.
- Clean between the teeth: Use dental floss or interdental brushes daily to remove plaque and food debris that the brush cannot reach.
- Visit the dentist regularly: Go to the dentist at least twice a year for routine check-ups and professional teeth cleaning.
- Eat a healthy diet: Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks that can lead to tooth decay. Eat more fruits, vegetables and calcium-rich foods to maintain strong teeth.
- Avoid tobacco products: Smoking and sniffing can cause dental problems and gum disease. Try to stop or reduce the use of these products for better dental health.
- Protect your teeth during activities: Use a mouth guard during sports activities or when you perform activities with a risk of tooth damage.
- Care for dentures: If you have dentures, be sure to clean them regularly and store them safely to avoid damage and infection.
