Understanding Broken Teeth

A broken tooth is simply a crack or fracture in the structure of your tooth.

Causes of Broken Teeth

Several factors can contribute to a broken tooth, including:

  • Injury: This is the most common cause, including sports injuries, falls, and car accidents.
  • Biting down on hard objects: Such as ice, hard candy, or even popcorn kernels.
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism): Grinding or clenching your teeth can weaken them over time, making them more prone to breakage.
  • Large fillings: Large fillings can weaken the structure of a tooth, making it more susceptible to fracture.
  • Tooth decay: Extensive decay can significantly weaken a tooth, increasing the risk of breakage.

Experiencing a broken tooth? Don't let it ruin your smile! Schedule a consultation with Meridian Dental to discuss your repair options. We offer a range of solutions to restore your tooth's function and appearance.

Benefits of Broken Tooth Repair

Pain Relief

Broken teeth can be extremely painful. Repairing the tooth can eliminate or significantly reduce discomfort.

Improved Appearance

Broken teeth can negatively impact your smile's aesthetics. Repairing the tooth can restore its natural appearance and boost your confidence.

Reduced Risk of Further Damage

A broken tooth is more susceptible to further damage, such as decay or infection. Repairing the tooth can prevent these complications.

Improved Function:

A broken tooth can interfere with chewing and biting. Repairing the tooth can restore its full function.

Treatment Options for Broken Teeth

Filling

For small chips or cracks, a dental filling can be used to restore the tooth's shape and function.

Crown

If a significant portion of the tooth is broken, a dental crown may be necessary. A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.

Root Canal Treatment

If the nerve of the tooth is exposed or infected due to the break, root canal treatment may be required to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth.

Extraction

In severe cases, the tooth may need to be extracted if it's beyond repair.

Broken Tooth FAQs

Teeth can break due to trauma (such as falls or accidents), biting hard objects, tooth decay, grinding (bruxism), or weakened enamel from cavities or aging.
Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and see a dentist as soon as possible. If there’s bleeding, apply gentle pressure with gauze.
No, a broken tooth will not heal by itself. It requires professional dental treatment to prevent further damage or infection.
Treatment depends on the severity of the break and may include dental bonding, fillings, crowns, veneers, root canal therapy, or extraction in severe cases.
Yes, a broken tooth can be an emergency, especially if it is painful, bleeding, or exposing the nerve. Seek dental care immediately.

Costs vary based on treatment:

  • Dental bonding: $100–$500 per tooth
  • Dental crown: $800–$1,500 per tooth
  • Root canal with crown: $1,000–$2,500
  • Veneers: $500–$2,500 per tooth
  • Tooth extraction and implant: $3,000–$5,000
Yes, minor cracks or chips can be fixed with bonding or fillings, but larger fractures often require a crown for strength and protection.
Ignoring a broken tooth can lead to infection, decay, increased sensitivity, pain, and potential tooth loss.
It’s best to avoid chewing on the affected side and stick to soft foods until you see a dentist. Hard or sticky foods can worsen the damage.
It depends on the treatment. Bonding and fillings can be done in one visit, while crowns and implants may take multiple appointments.
If the break exposes the nerve or causes infection, a root canal may be necessary before restoring the tooth.
Home remedies, like dental wax or temporary repair kits, can provide short-term protection, but professional treatment is required for a permanent fix.
Not necessarily. A crack may be minor and only affect the enamel, while a break can involve deeper layers and require more extensive treatment.
Avoid chewing hard objects, wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play sports, and maintain good oral hygiene to keep teeth strong.
