What happens when teeth are broken?

The treatment of damaged teeth includes filling, root canal treatment, extraction and restoration, etc.

1. Filling

If the damage is minor, only filling treatment may be needed. The dentist will remove the decayed tissue first, and then fill it with suitable materials to restore the shape and function of the tooth and prevent further decay.

2. Root canal treatment

If the damage is close to or affects the pulp, root canal treatment may be needed. By removing infectious substances from the root canal, disinfection and tight filling, inflammation is eliminated and the affected tooth is retained.

3. Tooth extraction and repair

When the tooth damage is serious and cannot be retained, it is necessary to extract the affected tooth, and according to the subsequent repair needs, consider the dental implant, porcelain teeth and other repair methods to restore masticatory function and beauty.

After completing the treatment is not once and for all, it is also necessary to do daily maintenance. Maintain good oral hygiene practices, including proper brushing and flossing, to reduce plaque and food debris accumulation. Also, check regularly with your dentist as recommended to detect and treat possible problems.
