The best thing to do if your tooth is broken is to contact your dentist to have it assessed. Whether your tooth sustains a small chip or a more extensive fracture, you may need immediate attention to treat your tooth so you can feel comfortable and chew with ease again.
A chipped tooth can irritate your tongue and the soft tissues that rub against it. You may need it smoothed or repaired with dental bonding or a veneer.
A broken tooth could become sensitive and make eating and chewing difficult, not to mention detracting from your smile's appearance. Therefore, it's important to have your broken tooth assessed right away to prevent further damage to it. Our dentists may recommend a crown or veneer to restore your tooth, depending on your needs.
If your broken tooth is an emergency, don't hesitate to contact Family Dentistry immediately by calling (703) 691-1511. Our dentists leave time in our daily schedule to examine and treat emergency patients with same-day dentistry if possible. We'll get you back on the path to wellness with the prompt emergency dental care you can rely on.
