Teeth can be broken or chipped by a number of different ways, including facial injury. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can also cause your teeth to break or chip, although it usually only occurs in severe cases.
Sometimes, the pulp of the tooth because inflamed – known as acute pulpitis – causing severe tooth pain and sensitivity.
If an infection is left untreated, often times it will turn into an abscess. This causes pain, swelling, and sometimes, a fever. In order to keep your condition from worsening, this is considered a dental emergency because it should be dealt with right away.
If your dentist recommends that your tooth be extracted to protect the rest of your mouth, or if your tooth falls out on its own – don’t worry! Discussing your restorative options with your dentist will be your next step, but your smile will be back to “normal” in no time.
