Broken or Chipped Tooth

First Aid for a chipped or broken tooth

Save any pieces. Rinse the mouth using warm water; rinse any broken pieces. If there's bleeding, apply a piece of gauze to the area for about 10 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth, cheek, or lip near the broken/chipped tooth to keep any swelling down and relieve pain. Call our office as soon as possible at 1-800-864-8441 so that we can get your long term treatment underway quickly.

Long Term care for a broken or chipped tooth
If you knock out one of your permanent teeth it is vital to see a dentist immediately. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for your dentist to put it back in. There is a 30-minute window in which teeth can be effectively re-attached. After 24 hours, chances decrease significantly. The dentist will examine the site of injury and clean the tooth socket. The tooth will be replanted and joined to the surrounding teeth for 7-10 days for stability. If the tooth re-attaches to the jawbone, it will then require root canal therapy.
