A sudden accident, fall, or sports injury can leave you with a broken or chipped tooth. Not only is it painful, but it can also affect your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we provide fast, effective treatments for dental emergencies, including broken teeth.
What Causes a Broken Tooth?
A tooth can break due to:
Accidents and falls
Sports injuries
Biting down on something hard
Tooth decay or weakened enamel
Previous dental work (like large fillings) becoming unstable
Types of Broken Teeth
Not all tooth breaks are the same. Common types include:
Chipped tooth – minor enamel damage, usually cosmetic
Cracked tooth – a split that can extend into the root
Broken cusp – part of the chewing surface breaks off
Severe fracture – exposes the inner pulp, causing pain
Knocked-out tooth – the entire tooth is dislodged
What To Do If You Break a Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Save any broken pieces of the tooth if possible.
Call your dentist immediately – broken teeth need urgent care.
Treatments for a Broken Tooth
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, treatment depends on the extent of the damage:
Dental bonding – for minor chips or cracks
Dental veneers – for cosmetic repair of front teeth
Dental crowns – to restore strength and function
Root canal therapy – if the pulp (nerve) is exposed or infected
Dental implant or bridge – if the tooth cannot be saved
Why Immediate Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment for a broken tooth can lead to:
Infection
Worsening pain
Further damage to surrounding teeth
Permanent tooth loss
