When an accident happens that cracks or chips a tooth, or knocks one loose or out, then you should see our team. With emergency dentistry, we can provide a way to repair teeth and prevent major complications. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about repairing damaged teeth with emergency dental care.
The Risks of a Cracked or Chipped Tooth
When an injury chips or cracks a tooth, even if the injury itself appears quite minor, see our team right away. Even small cracks or chips could expose sensitive interior structures to harmful bacteria and increase the risk of tooth decay and infection. Even if you sustain an injury to your mouth and no damage is visible, consider an appointment because a fracture is often practically invisible to the naked eye. We want to see you and offer repair as soon as possible, same-day in some cases!
Responding to Your Injuries
When an injury happens, rinse with warm water and use gauze or cloth to stem any bleeding. You can also add a cold compress to the side of your face to reduce swelling. If you can recover any pieces of your tooth, please do so and bring it with you to the office. Call us right away. If we are open, then we will try to see you same-day. If we are closed, then leave a message and a team member will respond as soon as possible with possible appointment times. In the meantime, try to avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks or items high in sugar, as the injured tooth will be very sensitive and vulnerable.
Repairing Your Teeth
How do we repair your tooth? If you have a minor chip, then we could repair the breakage with a bonding procedure, which can be done in only one visit. If you have a more severe chip, or if the tooth is fractured, then we could help with a custom and lifelike dental crown. If you have any questions about how we repair cracked or chipped teeth with emergency dentistry and custom restorations, then contact our team today to learn more and start your treatment journey!
