Are you looking for information on chipped teeth treatment.? Your teeth were made to withstand all of the daily chewing forces that we all experience.
They are incredibly strong, however teeth can become chipped, cracked (fractured) or broken for a number of reasons that include:
- Teeth become decayed and weaken
- Teeth can chip or break during a bite on hard food or object
- A sports injury or accident can cause a fracture or breakage
When teeth are damaged there may be no immediate pain, there will be weaknesses in the tooths structure.
Your tongue will usually feel a sharp edge when it rubs over the affected tooth.
The affected tooth might look fine, but when you drink or eat something hot or cold there is tooth pain.
If you find that this is the case all of the time, the affected tooth may have damaged blood vessels or a damaged nerve.

Chipped teeth pain
If the tooth fracture is of a minor nature you shouldn’t experience any pain.
Having said that if a larger part of the tooth has broken off it can hurt quite a bit.
The reason for this is the tooth nerve has become exposed to air, or hot or cold drinks or food are causing the pain in the nerve.
The pain that you feel from a chipped or broken tooth must be seen immediately by a dentist, even if the pain comes and goes.
The last thing that you need is a serious infection, further complications or to have the tooth extracted.

Types of chipped or damaged teeth
Chipped, broken or damaged teeth happen in several types, each type requires a different treatment, these are:
A cracked tooth involves the whole tooth, right the way from the chewing surface and down to the tooth nerve.
The pieces that are left won’t move, over time the crack begins to widen.
In a small amount of cases the cracks can be fixed with composite bonding, a filling material.
More often than not a dental crown will be needed to stop the crack from widening, if there is any damage to the nerve or live tissue root canal work will be used.
A minor crack or a craze line is a surface crack that only affects the enamel of the tooth.
These hardly ever require treatment, in some cases we may lightly polish the affected area to smooth out any spots that are rough.
A broken cusp affects the the top of the tooth (cusps) the pulp is usually affected and you shouldn’t have pain.
If the damage is repairable we will restore the shape of the teeth.
If the damage is more severe we may fit a dental crown for the chipped teeth to prevent further damage or infection.
Minor chips require chipped teeth treatment , it depends on the severity of the chip, it can usually be fixed with dental bonding, or a polish and smooth.
A serious break can go so deep as to expose the nerve of the tooth.
You will feel pain in that area, the tooth will be sensitive and hurt, the broken part will usually bleed.
The best chipped teeth treatment in this case is to begin with root canal treatment to remove nerve that is exposed.
Following that, our experienced Hungarian Dentists will insert a top quality dental crown to help bring normal functionality back allowing you to chew and eat properly.
A decay induced break causes the tooth to break or crumble, the cavity has allowed the tooth to weaken from the inside.
During the free consultation Dr Tamas will will evaluate the decayed cavity and recommend the best chipped teeth treatment.
The best treatment may involve, a filling, or in more severe cases root canal treatment or a dental crown.
Split root or vertical breaks happen when cracks begin in the tooth root and extend upwards towards the chewing area.
Because there is infection or inflammation the area around the root will often be painful.
In the majority of cases the recommended chipped teeth treatment in this instance is a dental implant or a dental bridge.
Teeth grinding or bruxism can cause broken teeth, bruxism is quite common in adults, it will be identified during your xray and free consultation in Hungarian Dentists Wexford.
