Having only one set of adult teeth to last you your entire adulthood is a real responsibility. You need to devote yourself to proactive prevention through brushing and flossing, and it’s also important to stick to your schedule of biannual checkups. But even when you do everything just like you’re supposed to, it’s still possible to crack, chip, or break a tooth. When that happens, see about a smile renewal from a trusted, local dentist.

Losing the natural protection of your enamel puts you at risk. When you crack, chip, or break one of your teeth, tell Dr. Emily Johnson-G’Sell, DDS, MAGD at Magnolia Family Dental.

As Soon As You Notice The Damage…

Call your dentist to talk further about what’s happened. It is important to meet with your oral health team to discuss your dental direction after you break a tooth, as you can open yourself up for infection. You see, a healthy smile depends on a form of tissue called enamel, which coats each tooth. Enamel is even stronger than bone, but you can still damage it through injury or tooth decay.

Taking a few minutes to meet with your dentist after you crack, chip, or break a tooth can help you to understand your next steps. Early intervention is a smart idea, too, as bacterial infection can begin rather quickly after you lose the protection of your enamel. When damage is not addressed in a timely manner, it’s often time to talk root canal treatment.
