A broken or cracked tooth is always considered a dental emergency, even if the pain seems manageable at first.
Ignoring a broken tooth allows bacteria to enter, increasing the risk of infection. The American Dental Association recommends seeing a dentist promptly for any chipped, broken, or cracked tooth.
At Dentist in Powell, we offer same-day dentist appointments to stabilize and treat broken teeth, helping prevent further damage or tooth loss. Badly broken teeth are often rebuilt with dental crowns in Powell so you can chew normally again.
If you've broken a tooth, book an appointment or call (614) 659-0018 right away.
Yes — even if the pain feels manageable, a break lets bacteria into the tooth and raises the risk of infection. Have it examined as soon as possible, ideally the same day.
Rinse your mouth with warm water, avoid chewing on that side, take over-the-counter pain relief if needed, and contact an emergency dentist right away.
Small chips can often be smoothed or bonded, while larger breaks typically need a dental crown to restore strength and appearance. Your dentist will recommend the right repair after an exam.
