What happens if a chipped tooth was not fixed in time?
If a part of your tooth gets chipped or falls out and is not fixed immediately, it may lead to many dental problems like toothache, tooth decay, sensitivity, and gum disease.
Can chipped teeth be fixed?
If treated right on time, anything can be fixed, be it chipped or broken. Going to the dental clinic without delay is your responsibility while restoring your tooth is the dentist‘s skill.
What to do if a piece of tooth breaks off?
If your tooth was previously healthy and got chipped due to an injury, rinse your mouth if it is bleeding and take a painkiller if required. Hold the broken tooth back in place or cover the sharp edge with a piece of paraffin wax or gum and then make a run to the dental clinic. If you have it, take the broken piece with you.
Before your arrival, make an emergency call at Durrani’s Dental Clinic; Dr. Shoaib Durrani will take care of the issue upon your arrival.
