Broken Tooth - Your Dentistree Mornington

A broken or chipped tooth could happen for an array of reasons. Symptoms such as sensitivity, discomfort, swelling around the gum, or pain when biting may affect your lifestyle. That’s why it’s so important to have a broken tooth assessed early as it means less costly, complicated and longer treatment for issues that could have been intervened early on.

Causes

• Biting hard or sticky items such as ice and hard lollies
• Lost or broken fillings
• Existing tooth cracking due to teeth with large fillings or tension
• Tension due to stress, teeth grinding or brittleness
• Weakening due tooth wear from dental erosion 
• Accidents, falling down and contact sport injuries

Treatment Options

It is important to identify the cause and extent of the wear, crack or damage. We may recommend the following treatment options to help repair your broken tooth:

• • Restorative treatment such as composite bonding, veneers, dental crowns – help restore form and function to your teeth
  • Teeth straightening – move the teeth into correct alignment to protect them from increased risk of damage in the future
  • Night guards – protect your teeth from wearing away at night
  • Mouthguards – prevent your teeth from sports injury or accidents in the future

• Muscle relaxants – reduce clenching forces on the jaw and teeth
