What should I do if I have a broken tooth?


At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, we understand how stressful and painful a broken tooth can be. Acting quickly is key to protecting your oral health and avoiding complications. Here’s what our expert dental team recommends if you experience a broken tooth:
 
Immediate Steps:
• Gently rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean.
• If there’s bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean gauze or damp cloth until it stops.
• To reduce swelling or discomfort, place a cold compress on your cheek near the affected site.
• Avoid chewing on the side with the broken tooth, and stick to soft foods until you can visit our office.
 
If the break has created a sharp edge, you can cover it with dental wax or sugarless gum to protect your tongue and cheek from injury. Over-the-counter pain relievers may help manage discomfort, but never place aspirin directly on your gums—it can damage the tissue.
 
Before Your Appointment:
• Try to save any pieces of the broken tooth and bring them with you to your visit to Smile Theory of Beverly Hills.
• Schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. Even minor fractures can lead to infection or further damage without proper care.
 
Our skilled dentists will assess your tooth and discuss the best treatment options, which may include bonding, a crown, or—in severe cases—a root canal or extraction. Prompt, professional care is the best way to relieve pain, prevent infection, and restore your smile’s health and beauty.

How is a broken tooth treated?


At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, we understand that a broken tooth can be both painful and alarming. Prompt dental attention is essential to prevent further damage or infection and to restore your confident smile. Our experienced dental team will carefully assess the extent and location of your tooth fracture to recommend the most effective treatment.
 
For minor chips, we may recommend smoothing the rough edge and restoring your tooth’s appearance and strength with tooth-colored fillings or advanced dental bonding techniques. If the break is more significant and has compromised a larger portion of the tooth, our dentists may suggest a custom dental crown to protect the remaining structure and restore your ability to chew comfortably.
 
In cases where the break exposes the tooth’s pulp—the sensitive inner tissue containing nerves and blood vessels—our team may perform root canal therapy. This procedure removes the damaged tissue, thoroughly cleans the tooth’s interior, and seals it before placing a durable crown for long-term protection.
 
If the fracture extends below the gum line or the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be necessary. Smile Theory of Beverly Hills offers a range of advanced tooth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, and partial dentures, to restore your smile’s health, function, and aesthetics.
 
If you break a tooth, we recommend rinsing your mouth with warm water, applying gentle pressure to control any bleeding, and avoiding chewing on the affected side. Contact Smile Theory of Beverly Hills as soon as possible for a same-day emergency appointment.

Can a broken tooth heal on its own?


At Smile Theory of Beverly Hills, we want our patients to understand that a broken tooth cannot heal itself. Unlike other tissues in your body—like skin or bone—the hard outer layer of a tooth (enamel) doesn’t have living cells that can regenerate or repair damage. That means when you experience a break, chip, or crack in your tooth, your body cannot restore the lost or damaged enamel or dentin on its own. Even small cracks and chips are permanent, and only a dental professional can repair them.
 
If you have a broken tooth, the exposed inner layers can quickly become sensitive to temperature, pressure, or sweet foods. The area is also at greater risk for infection and decay. Sometimes, a minor chip may not cause immediate discomfort, but it still won’t “heal” without treatment. In fact, if you notice your tooth becoming less sensitive over time, it could be a sign that the nerve inside has died—a situation that could lead to more serious complications.
 
That’s why it’s so important to contact us if you have a broken or chipped tooth. Our expert dental team will assess the damage and recommend the best treatment for your unique situation. Depending on the severity, solutions may include smoothing sharp edges, dental bonding, fillings, crowns, or—in more advanced cases—root canal therapy to save your tooth and protect your oral health.
 
Don’t wait for a broken tooth to get worse. Prompt dental care not only relieves pain and prevents infection, but it also helps preserve your beautiful, healthy smile.

Can a broken tooth cause infection?


We understand that a broken tooth isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it can also pose a serious risk to your oral and overall health. When a tooth breaks, the inner layers, such as the dentin or pulp, may become exposed. This exposure creates an open pathway for bacteria to enter, which can quickly lead to infection or even a dental abscess.
 
Common symptoms of infection include pain, swelling, redness of the gums, a bad taste in the mouth, and, in more severe cases, fever. If left untreated, the infection can spread beyond the tooth, affecting other areas of your body and leading to serious health complications.
 
That’s why our team encourages you to seek prompt dental care if you experience a broken tooth. Our experienced dentists use advanced techniques and technology to restore damaged teeth, eliminate infection, and protect your beautiful smile. Don’t wait—early treatment is key to minimizing risks and ensuring the best outcome for your oral health.
