Broken tooth
What is it?
A broken tooth occurs when a tooth is chipped, cracked, or fractured due to trauma, biting on hard foods, decay, or weakened tooth structure. A broken tooth can expose sensitive inner layers of the tooth, causing pain, sensitivity, or an increased risk of infection.
​
At our Calgary dental clinic, we provide prompt diagnosis and treatment to restore the strength, function, and appearance of a broken tooth.
Who it’s for:
Broken tooth treatment is recommended for:
-
Patients with chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth
-
Sudden tooth pain after an injury or accident
-
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure
-
Sharp edges that irritate the tongue or gums
-
Teeth damaged by decay or old fillings
-
Anyone needing an emergency dentist in Calgary
Early treatment helps prevent further damage and protects the remaining tooth structure.
How the procedure works:
-
Dental examination
-
The dentist examines the damaged tooth and surrounding area to assess the extent of the break.
-
Digital X-rays (if needed)
-
X-rays help determine whether the tooth root or nerve is affected.
-
Treatment & restoration
-
Treatment may include smoothing a minor chip, placing a filling or crown, or other restorative procedures based on the damage.
-
Aftercare & prevention
-
We provide guidance to protect the tooth and prevent future damage.
