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.
