Trauma to the mouth may result in a chipped or cracked tooth. In some situations, this is a hazard because the sharp fragments can cut the soft tissues of the mouth. In others, it can leave the inner canals of a tooth exposed, resulting in a toothache or infection that gets within. Treating a cracked or chipped tooth as soon as possible is necessary to avoid further issues. Our emergency dentist at Gallery 57 Dental can help with this by using dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or dental crowns to repair the tooth structure and avoid complications.
