Causes and Types of Tooth Fractures

Understanding the cause of a cracked tooth can help guide appropriate treatment:

Causes of Cracked Teeth: Common causes include biting hard foods, trauma, and age-related wear. Identifying these can help patients avoid recurrence.
Types of Tooth Fractures: Different fractures (such as hairline cracks, chips, and split teeth) need tailored treatments, which we specialize in at Platina Dental.

Treatment Options for Broken Tooth Repair

Each type of bad breath has unique characteristics. Here are a few types commonly identified at Platina Dental:

Dental Crown for Fractured Tooth
- For extensive fractures, crowns provide long-lasting protection. Dr. Swetha explains: “Crowns are ideal for covering and reinforcing fractured teeth, allowing you to chew comfortably.” Patients interested in crowns can explore more about our dental crown solutions here.
Root Canal for Broken Teeth
- Severe breaks may expose the tooth’s pulp, requiring a root canal to prevent infection. Our team at Platina Dental offers precise and gentle root canal therapy to alleviate pain and restore functionality. Discover more about root canal treatments on our website.
Emergency Treatment for Broken Tooth
- In cases of sudden fractures, emergency care can make a world of difference. “Prompt emergency treatment reduces pain and the risk of further damage,” Dr. Swetha advises. Learn more about emergency care options.

When to See a Dentist for Broken Tooth

Ignoring a broken tooth can lead to serious issues like infections. It’s essential to consult a dentist if you experience symptoms such as:

Dental Pain Relief for Cracked Tooth

Temporary pain relief measures are available until you can visit the dentist. Over-the-counter options, cold compresses, and saltwater rinses offer short-term relief. But as Dr. Swetha emphasizes, “Long-term relief can only be achieved through professional repair and restoration.”

Cost of Repairing a Broken Tooth
