What do I do if part of my tooth breaks off? |
Issue I know I obviously need to go to the dentist; but they are not open right now. I will call them in the morning. I do not think I have a cavity on this tooth; but I was eating something and about a quarter of it broke off. It does not hurt, but it is cutting my tongue up. Does anyone know what they will do? Put a cap on it? Best Tip They might put a cap or crown on it. They might fill it like a cavity. They might pull the tooth. It depends on the dentist and the shape of the remaining tooth. Don't wait too long or it will contiue to break off until there is nothing they can do. I should practice what I'm preaching...I have one that lost its filling and also has a sharp edge. See you at the dentist's office. Others Ewwwwwwww.....they will need to pull it and put a fake tooth in, I forgot what they're called but they look like a normal tooth. WHAT WERE YOU EATING??? Just don't talk or chew. If your hungry eat some ice cream or something really soft. If it still cuts your tongue then go to the store and buy some wax that you use when you have braces to stop the braces from cutting your mouth. Just ask your pharmacist if they carry it. For now i would go to the drug store and get some dental wax. Put it on your tooth to stop it from cutting up your mouth any longer. I would call the dentist first thing in the morning and make an emergency appointment. They will most likely put a cap on it, if it is to badly broken they will probably pull it out. I hope this helps. Find a dentist this instant and have it fixed. If you can't afford a dentist, go to a hospital, they usually have resident dentist clinics, and the emergency room should be able to help. If you let it go too long, it will have to either be pulled or have a root canal. I broke a tooth on a tounge piercing, got the tooth pulled out, not a problem. (September 10, 2001, the tooth extraction that will live in infamy) when i got mine chipped playing lacrosse, i went quite a while without getting it fixed. eventually, you'll have to see the dentist, and they should be able to fill it in with enamel and color it to match the rest of the tooth. it costs a bit of money though. krazy glue works great careful you might stick your whole mouth together |
