What are my treatment options for broken, cracked or dislodged teeth?
The general treatment options available for broken, damaged or cracked teeth are:
Porcelain Crowns or Veneers
Temporary braces or brackets
Teeth Whitening
Removal of the teeth or Extractions
Gum Treatment or Periodontal Treatment
We will discuss your dental history and then have a consultation with you to discuss possible treatment options. X-rays or other tests to your mouth, gums or jaw may need to be performed. Don’t hesitate to contact us at anytime to discuss your emergency.
Do I need to see a Dentist about a cracked or broken tooth?
Yes. Wether the tooth or teeth are knocked out, become displaced (moved forward or backward or have been pushed in) or have been chipped, there is a risk of permanent damage. Nerves may be exposed and aesthetics may be compromised. As such we may need to see you to reduce sensitivity, minimise or stop bacteria infecting your nerves and restore aesthetics.
Whatever treatment is required, it is best to seek treatment as soon as possible as infection can start to spread, potentially causing permanent damage to your teeth mouth, and/or gums. Contact us to enquire.
Dental Emergency Treatment Tips
For Toothache & Pain

CRACKED
Tooth, Teeth, Veneers, Fixtures
Rinse your mouth out with warm water to cleanse it then put a cold pack or cold compress on the face to keep swelling down

Keep dislodged tooth moist. Try placing it back in the socket without touching the root. Alternatively place it between the cheek and gums or in milk
