Often times patients do not come to see their dentist unless a dental condition has become urgent and painful!&nbsp; By the time a patient is experiencing acute, sharp, throbbing pain, the condition is <em>not<\/em> so cute.&nbsp; Whether you just broke a tooth or have had a broken tooth for some time, it is best to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/contact-us.html\">see your dentist ASAP!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How and why do teeth break?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth can break for a variety of reasons, including physical injury, biting into a hard or tough piece of food, decay that weakens the tooth enamel.&nbsp; They can chip, crack, or fracture, damaging one or more layers of the tooth, and break above, at, or below the gum line.&nbsp; Fractures of the tooth root, which are not visible to the eye, are also serious and consequently damage the blood vessels and nerves that supply the tooth.&nbsp; Lastly, your tooth can become loosened or displaced from their socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can a broken tooth be saved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the severity of damage to the tooth and its root and how fast you act, your dentist has more opportunities to save your tooth!&nbsp; Surface chips and cracks can most often be fixed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/composite-fillings.html\">fillings<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/cosmetic-bonding.html\">bonding<\/a>.&nbsp; Cracks or fractures that extend beyond the gum line, can be more difficult to repair, requiring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/endodontics.html\">root canal<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/dental-crowns.html\">dental crown<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infections in decayed or broken teeth can spread to the surrounding gum tissue, jaw bone, and can even become systemic.&nbsp; Your dentist can treat the infection and may be able to repair the tooth, however, some infected teeth cannot be saved.&nbsp; Teeth that have lost blood and nerve supply, necrosis, are usually recommended to remove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tooth cannot be saved, don&#8217;t worry!\u00a0 There are many tooth replacement options available to restore your smile to its full function and aesthetic.\u00a0 At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/\">Advanced Dental Care<\/a> in Costa Mesa, we offer personalized treatment to your condition and budget, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/dental-bridges.html\">several types of dental bridges<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/dental-crowns.html\">crowns<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/dentures-costa-mesa.html\">dentures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chipped-tooth-300x151.png\" alt=\"chipped tooth - cracked tooth - broken tooth - front tooth - best dentist costa mesa - emergency dentist - ppo dentist - no insurance dentist - saturday dentist \" class=\"wp-image-913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chipped-tooth-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chipped-tooth-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chipped-tooth-1024x514.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/chipped-tooth.png 1538w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cerecs1-large-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"chipped tooth - cracked tooth - broken tooth - front tooth - best dentist costa mesa - emergency dentist - ppo dentist - no insurance dentist - saturday dentist \" class=\"wp-image-914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cerecs1-large-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cerecs1-large-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cerecs1-large-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cerecs1-large.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/broken-tooth-1.jpg\" alt=\"chipped tooth - cracked tooth - broken tooth - front tooth - best dentist costa mesa - emergency dentist - ppo dentist - no insurance dentist - saturday dentist \" class=\"wp-image-915\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to see your dentist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical trauma or injury to your face or head or excessive bleeding, swelling, or pain are serious.&nbsp; <strong>Please get emergency care immediately<\/strong>!&nbsp; When you take swift action, injuries resulting from trauma have the best chance for recovery.&nbsp; In addition, swelling, extreme pain, redness, and heat, can all be signs of a serious infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tooth with a large chip, crack, or break at or near the gum line, may not bleed or swell, but be very painful.&nbsp; The biggest risks associated with large or deep cracks\/chips is damage to the nerve and blood supply and infection.&nbsp; Call your dentist as soon as possible to get in for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">emergency dental care<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not notice when you have small chips or fractures, while other chips might be sharp or jagged.&nbsp; Sharp or jagged chips cause irritation to your tongue and cheeks.&nbsp; You should still see your dentist as soon as possible, even if you are not currently experiencing pain.&nbsp; Small cracks and chips can expose the inner layers of your teeth leaving them susceptible to decay, infection, and further breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call now for your free consultation with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson<\/a> at our Costa Mesa <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Ysr3Nn9Mjn22\">dentist office.<\/a> We are available by phone at (714) 424-9099 anytime or visit us online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\/contact-us.html\">www.mycostamesadentist.com<\/a>.&nbsp;
