[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] What should I do if I accidentally broke my tooth in an accident?

Dentists say that when a tooth is fractured, it will be treated according to different conditions such as chipping, crown fracture, superficial root fracture, and deep root fracture.

If there is no discomfort when eating, it is usually enamel defect, which can be reconstructed by filling; if the deep root is broken, it can only be extracted, and then the missing tooth can be reconstructed with artificial implants or bridges.

Huang Wenlong, director of Zhubei Chengshi Aesthetic Dental Clinic, posted on the Facebook page "Your Smile Engineer Huang Wenlong Dental Physician｜Hsinchu Zhubei Dental Implant Denture Professional Dentistry" that many people may have encountered the problem of accidental broken teeth. It was a car accident, a fall, or even eating something a little harder and the tooth broke.

As for how to treat a broken tooth, the doctor said that it will be carried out according to the degree of fracture.

●Defective corner: Eating is not uncomfortable, but the tongue feels sharp when licked. It is usually a small-scale enamel defect. The main treatment is to reconstruct the defect area by filling.

●Crown Fracture: The fracture range is relatively large, and the internal dentin is also violated. When occlusal or touching cold food, there is an uncomfortable feeling.

Due to the large defect range, it is impossible to simply use filling materials to restore the shape. In treatment, 3D tooth carving or denture crown must be used to reconstruct the shape and occlusal function.

Superficial tooth root fracture: the fracture surface is deep enough to reach the root of the tooth, and the tooth can still be left unextracted. The treatment must be accompanied by crown augmentation. The purpose is to expose the fracture surface of the tooth root, and the denture crown can be used to seal the tooth afterward, so as to prolong the service life of the tooth. life.

●Deep tooth root fracture: can only be extracted, and then the missing tooth can be reconstructed with artificial tooth implant or dental bridge.
