Care Instructions For Your Chipped or Broken Tooth.
- If you have persistent pain following chipping or breaking your tooth, you need to call the dentist immediately as this indicates a possible injury to the tooth nerve.
- If you do not experience pain or sensitivity in the affected area, generally you will just need to call a schedule a non-emergency appointment in order to have the chipped or broken portion replaced. Although, we'd be happy to see you today.
- If you really will be unable to see a dentist for some time, you might also gently smooth the rough area using an emery board to lessen the roughness. Don't wait too long though, as the tooth that has chipped even though it does not cause pain may be a sign of a more serious problem.
