Solutions pour vos dents cassées chez Clinique Dentaire Targa

A broken tooth can be due to several factors such as chewing hard food (ice, nuts, candy, etc.), teeth grinding, simple wear and tear, an accident, etc.

Broken teeth are the main cause of tooth loss.
How do you know if you have one or more cracked or broken teeth?
The most common symptoms include:

Pain when chewing or biting.
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
Frequent and discontinuous pain
Swelling of the gums
Mobility of the tooth in question

Complication that a broken tooth can cause

Infection of the bone and gum tissue of the affected tooth is the main complication of a broken tooth. This infection is also called a tooth abscess and is often accompanied by fever, bad breath, and swelling of the gums.

What could the dentist do?

Treatments for a broken or cracked tooth include:
Paste the tooth fragment
Establish a dental filling or crown
Treating the root canal for a badly broken tooth where the nerves are exposed

What to do after breaking a tooth?

Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water immediately to clean it. Then apply pressure to stop any bleeding by placing a cold compress over the area to reduce the swelling. Be sure to wrap the broken piece in damp gauze and take it with you to the dentist.

What to do if you lose a tooth?

If the tooth has come out of your mouth, use a gauze pad to grab it by the crown and place it back into the socket if possible. Try to go to the dentist right away.

How to relieve the pain of a broken tooth?

Rinse the inside of your mouth with lukewarm water and apply cold compresses to reduce the swelling. You can take pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. Applying clove oil to the area is also recommended.
