Without realizing it, you rely on your enamel to keep your smile safe from harm. You see, bacteria are always trying to make your mouth their home, but normally, there is a level of protection from your natural enamel. Cracking, chipping, or breaking a tooth can take away that enamel protection and when it does, ask about same-day restoration with CEREC dental crowns.
Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY understand that your smile is a huge part of who you are. That’s why our office works so hard every day to help people find their way back to a strong, safe smile. Breaking a tooth is a serious smile liability, so don’t put off your examination any longer.
Sometimes, smiles need help to stay strong and beautiful. If you’ve cracked or broken one of your teeth, call Grinnell Street Dental to talk about same-day CEREC solutions.
Lose A Filling? Crack A Tooth?
Whenever a filling falls out or a tooth becomes cracked, scheduling an appointment with your dental team needs to be a priority. Once the protective outer layer of enamel has been lost, the inner structures of the tooth become exposed to potential harm. While enamel is remarkably durable, it can still be damaged by injury, wear, tooth decay. When that protective barrier is lost, bacteria gain an easier path into the more vulnerable portions of the tooth, where they can create infection and cause additional damage over time.
Since the cause of a broken tooth is not always obvious, an examination with your dentist can be a real help. In some situations, treatment may be relatively simple, while in others, deeper damage may require more advanced care. If you have begun noticing sensitivity, discomfort, or persistent pain around the affected tooth, your dentist can also discuss restorative options, including endodontic procedures such as root canal therapy when necessary. This can be a sign of bacterial infection within the tooth.
