1- If the tooth breaks suddenly, what are the procedures that must be taken?
If the entire tooth is broken but its roots remain intact, rinse your mouth immediately with water and keep the broken tooth in a small bowl of milk, water or serum. In case of bleeding, stop the bleeding by pressing on the required place, and refer to the emergency department if the bleeding is too much.
2- What are the appropriate procedures if sharp edges are formed due to broken teeth?
If the sharp edges of a tooth formed by a fracture are irritating and causing a tongue wound, you can cover those edges with gum, gauze, or wax. If you feel severe pain, take an analgesic or use a cold compress to relieve the pain.
3- Are broken or cracked teeth repaired normally?
Unlike other bones in the skeleton, the restoration process does not take place normally in teeth that have been broken or cracked, and medical procedures must be resorted to to restore broken and cracked teeth.
4- What are the complications that can occur if the broken tooth is not repaired?
In some cases, the fracture or crack in the tooth is so slight that the person does not notice it and can only be diagnosed with imaging. In these cases, the patient is not at risk. But if the fracture is visible and not treated, it may lead to infection of the root of the tooth due to tooth decay.
5- Does the broken tooth get infected?
If the broken tooth is not repaired, it will be easy for bacteria to enter the tooth roots where nerves and blood vessels are located. When the inflammation reaches the part that contains the nerves, the patient will have toothache and severe dental sensitivity.
