Infection And A Broken Tooth

infection broken tooth sheridan wyYour teeth are normally kept safe by a layer of tissue called enamel. This material is incredibly strong, even tougher than bone, but it can still become damaged through injury, tooth decay, and other issues. It serves to help you chew, providing real structure, and it also blocks out bacterial growth within. Well, when you crack, chip, or break a tooth, you can lose this natural protection, putting you at risk of infection.

If you have experienced dental damage, talk to Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY. We help people move forward after accidents or tooth decay cause you to lose the natural protection of your enamel. With same-day crowns made possible through CEREC milling technology, we bring advanced restorative dentistry to the people of Eastern Wyoming. So, if you’ve cracked, chipped, or broken a tooth, call our office to schedule a time for an evaluation.

Lose A Filling? Crack A Tooth?

Then it’s time to talk to your oral health team. You see, your teeth are at risk of bacterial infection when you lose the natural protection of your enamel. This is because the interior portion of each tooth is much more vulnerable, so bacteria can make their way through, causing damage as they do. Enamel is tough, even stronger than bone, but you can harm it through injury or tooth decay.

When you crack a tooth or lose a filling, it’s important to see your dentist for an examination. They can help you to understand what’s going on and how to address it. And if you’ve started to experience pain or discomfort at the area, we can talk about endodontic solutions like root canal treatment.
