BrokenTooth Repair

Your teeth are covered in a hard material called Enamel.

The enamel protects the underlying tooth structures called the dentine and the pulp (which has your nerves and blood vessels).

About This Condition

A broken tooth can range from a faint crack to one that’s very broken, bleeds, and exposes the nerves. It is important to make sure you seek treatment and repair for a broken tooth as these can result in pain and other issues further down the line.

Teeth can break due to a variety of reasons:

Trauma/injury to the mouth or face
Large fillings that has worn away or dislodged
A tooth that has been root filled can become brittle and break/crack with pressure whilst eating
A tooth with a large cavity can easily break

Broken tooth repair and treatments need to happen quickly to ensure that the enamel of the tooth is not compromised and to avoid unnecessary pain. If you have injured your front tooth and it has either fractured away or the whole tooth has come out then please preserve this in some milk. Do not clean it and contact the general dentist ASAP.

Treatment plans, devised by your dentist, may suggest any one of a range of treatments, including, depending on the severity of the condition, including:

A filling
Dental bonding
Filling or polishing
Root canal treatment
Extraction

An appointment with your dentist will enable a thorough examination to assess the damage and determine the best course of action, making any necessary referrals.
