Broken teeth can occur due to trauma, biting something hard, cavities, or teeth grinding (bruxism). They can be seen at different levels, from small cracks to the breaking off of large pieces. A broken tooth can cause aesthetic concerns as well as pain, sensitivity, and chewing problems.
Enamel Cracks: Form as small lines on the surface, usually do not cause pain.
Broken Tooth Corners: Cause aesthetic concerns in front teeth, while creating chewing problems in molars.
Fractures at the Dentin Level: When the sensitive part of the tooth is exposed, sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet foods may develop.
Fractures with Pulp (Nerve) Damage: If the nerves of the broken tooth are affected, pain and the risk of infection increase.
Root Fractures: Occur in the root part of the tooth, detected by X-ray, and usually require root canal treatment or extraction.
Bonding (Aesthetic Filling): For small cracks and fractures, the tooth is repaired with composite filling material.
Crown (Laminate, E-Max, Zirconium): For larger fractures, aesthetic porcelain crowns are preferred.
Root Canal Treatment: If the fracture reaches the nerves of the tooth, root canal treatment is applied to prevent the risk of infection.
Inlay & Onlay Filling: For larger fractures, fillings prepared in the laboratory are used to restore the tooth to its original form.
Tooth Extraction and Implant: In cases of root fractures or severely damaged teeth, as a last resort, extraction and implant may be applied.
✔ Save the Broken Tooth Piece: If you can find the broken piece, keep it in clean water and take it to your dentist.
✔ Keep the Tooth Clean: Gently brush the broken area and rinse with salt water.
✔ Use Painkillers and Cold Compress: To relieve pain, you may take an over-the-counter pain reliever and apply ice to your face.
✔ Avoid Acidic and Hard Foods: Stay away from hot, cold, and hard foods as they may cause sensitivity.
