Quick Care for Chipped or Broken Teeth

A broken tooth can occur unexpectedly during the bite or from a fall. It may start off small but may develop over time into sharp edges, tooth sensitivity, and pain when eating. At Smile Collective, all our efforts aim at making sure you remain comfortable when addressing the problem. In case a tooth breaks, it will leave the inner tooth layers exposed. Such an exposure leads to increased sensitivity to heat, cold, or pressure on the affected tooth. As such, immediate attention becomes necessary. Early action will ensure safety and prevention of more damages.
However, the severity of each breakage is always unique. Hence individual assessments are necessary in order to provide the appropriate treatment.
