Cracked Teeth Treatment London

When you bite down on hard foods, grind your teeth, receive a blow to your face, fall or get flipped during contact sports, you may end up with a cracked or chipped tooth. If this happens, please get in touch with your dentist at once. Several dental procedures can fix chipped or cracked teeth.

Certain teeth injuries don’t hide; you’ll notice them quickly. But some are inconspicuous. With a crack in your tooth, it is typical to feel discomfort while eating. Again, your teeth will be sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks.

Cracks in teeth can happen in several ways – it may be a single straight crack or more small cracks across the tooth surface. There are times where the crack can divide your tooth into two parts.

Not minding if the impact is small, whenever you have a crack or chip on your teeth, do well to contact a dentist quickly. They will evaluate how severe the damage is and give the proper treatment. If you don’t treat this problem, it’ll worsen, damage your tooth nerve and even make you lose the teeth.

For dental injury, get help immediately – it is considered a dental emergency.

While you wait to be seen by the dentist, rinse your mouth with warm water, and apply a cold compress to the area impacted. Where a piece of your tooth is fragmented, find and keep it in a glass of milk or inside your mouth to avoid dryness, and take it to your appointment. The dentist may be able to fix it.
