Treatment of A Broken Tooth (Cracked Tooth)

What Is A Broken Tooth?

A broken tooth is the formation of cracks in the tooth structure. Sometimes there are no symptoms of a cracked tooth. It is discovered during a dental exam. If left untreated, a severe tooth fracture can lead to infection and tooth loss. Tooth fracture occurs on the surface of the tooth, in the middle layer of the tooth, and in the root. A tooth fracture can deeply affect some or all of these layers. Treatment for a broken tooth is based on the location and severity of the fracture.

How to Treat A Broken Tooth?

The treatment of a fractured tooth is carried out by a dentist on an individual basis. There are different treatment methods depending on the severity of the crack and fracture. Depending on the size of the broken tooth, the needs and expectations of the patient, one of the broken tooth treatment methods is chosen.

Aesthetic Filling or Bonding

Treating broken teeth with an aesthetic composite filling is one of the most preferred methods. It is a safe and healthy method that ensures long-term use. In aesthetic filling, a shattered or cracked tooth is strengthened with a filling. A filling material that closely matches the colour of the tooth is used. Composite fillings are used particularly in the treatment of cracks in the front teeth.
