The broken teeth They can be caused by many reasons including stress or anxiety, Bruxism or involuntary clenching of the teeth, a blow or fall, cavities or eating very hard food.
What to do if a tooth breaks?
If you have one fracture in a tooth you must request one appointment with your dentist as soon as possible, in these cases it is not good to wait. If it is not acted on time it can get complicated and, in the worst case, you could lose the tooth.
At the appointment they should review the severity of the fracture and take X-rays if necessary. Depending on how the tooth is, the treatment to be carried out will be determined.
What can be the solutions?
As we mentioned before, the treatment depends on the severity of the fracture. Small fissures or deep fractures may occur and, depending on each one, the symptoms and treatment are different.
Micro-fractures or small fissures
If they are very small fractures such as those that occur at the edges of the teeth, they may be able to be treated with resin or dental veneer, or even no treatment may be required if there is no pain or sensitivity in the tooth.
Deep fractures
If you have suffered a deep fracture, you may need to have a rehabilitation or reconstruction of the tooth. If the fracture is very severe or deep, the health of the tooth should be checked. If the tooth has suffered deep damage involving the nerve, endodontics may be required or, in the most severe case, the tooth may be lost and must be replaced by a Dental implant.
