If your tooth breaks off and the damage is severe, the remaining tooth structure is sharp, or you’re experiencing pain, it’s considered a dental emergency. Call our office and we will see you as soon as possible to repair your tooth. If you can, bring in the broken tooth pieces. A piece of sugarless gum can be placed on the broken tooth to protect it from further damage and help with any sensitivity. If your tooth has a small chip and you’re not experiencing any pain, we can repair it with dental bonding or a veneer, but it’s not considered an emergency that needs same-day treatment.
