Teeth break from knocks, falls, sport or simply biting on something hard. Sometimes only a small piece of enamel chips off; other times the fracture reaches the nerve and the tooth becomes very sensitive.
The sooner you come in, the better the chance of saving the nerve and restoring a natural look. If you find the broken piece, keep it in water or milk and bring it with you.
When to see us
- A chipped piece or a sharp edge that cuts your tongue
- Pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking
- A visible crack or a tooth that moves
- An injury to the mouth after a knock or fall
During regular hours we work with the NHIF. Ask us which treatments are covered in your case.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do with the broken piece?
Keep it in water or milk and bring it along. In some cases it can be bonded back on.
Will the repair be visible?
We use materials that match your natural teeth, so a well-built restoration is barely noticeable.
