on something too hard, a tooth can crack, chip or even break off under excessive pressure. When the outer enamel layer of a tooth is compromised, however, the tooth is more vulnerable to sensitivity, decay and other problems. It can also be painful to tolerate as your tongue or cheek rubs against the sharp or jagged edge of a chipped tooth. Therefore, it is important to let us know as soon as possible if you’ve damaged a tooth. We reserve time in our daily schedules to treat dental emergencies.
Depending on the location and depth of your tooth damage, Dr. Tse will recommend a natural-looking and lasting repair. Minor cracks and chips may be restored with simple dental bonding, which includes applying tooth-colored composite resin to quickly rebuild your tooth structure. More substantial fractures may require a full dental crown or root canal if the tooth nerves have been affected.
