Broken Tooth
Emergency Dentist in Guildford for a Broken Tooth
A broken tooth can be both painful and alarming. Whether it's caused by an accident, biting into something hard, or decay, swift treatment is vital to prevent further damage or infection.
Common Signs of a Broken Tooth
A visible crack, fracture or missing piece of tooth
Pain when biting or chewing
Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods
A sharp edge that catches your tongue or cheek
Swelling or bleeding around the affected tooth
What to Do If You Break a Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water and, if there's bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze. An ice pack on the outside of your cheek can help reduce swelling. Then contact us immediately — delaying treatment can lead to infection or nerve damage.
We treat all kinds of broken-tooth emergencies, including chipped or fractured teeth, severely cracked teeth, teeth split or broken at the gum line, and teeth broken due to trauma or sports injuries.
Treatment Options for Broken Teeth
- Dental bonding — for small chips or minor fractures
- Dental crowns — to protect and restore a severely broken tooth
- Root canal therapy — if the nerve has been exposed or damaged
- Tooth extraction — in rare cases where the tooth cannot be saved
