Repair Your Smile With Confidence
Accidents, everyday habits, or even teeth grinding at night can cause a tooth to chip, crack, or break unexpectedly. When this happens, it's important to act quickly—not just for appearance but for your oral health. At Whispering Creek Dental, we offer advanced, personalized treatment options to restore damaged teeth and protect your long-term dental wellness.
Common Causes of Chipped or Broken Teeth
Tooth damage can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- Biting down on hard foods or objects
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Sports injuries or accidents
- Using teeth as tools
- Large fillings that weaken tooth structure
Regardless of the cause, prompt treatment is key to preventing further complications such as infection, tooth loss, or nerve damage.
Don’t Ignore a Chipped or Cracked Tooth
Even if a broken or cracked tooth isn’t visible or painful, it can still lead to serious issues if left untreated. A compromised tooth structure allows bacteria to enter and infect the inner layers, potentially causing:
- Tooth sensitivity or pain
- Infection or abscess
- Gum irritation
- Long-term tooth loss
If you notice pain, sensitivity, or visible damage, schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. If you're experiencing severe pain or swelling, it may be a dental emergency—call us immediately for urgent care guidance.
