A tooth cracked above the root is repairable. A tooth cracked down the root cannot be repaired. The Former needs a crown ASAP to prevent further cracking and tooth loss. A tooth with a crack down the root needs to be removed ASAP to prevent bone infection and acute tooth abscess. The best way to replace a cracked tooth is with a dental tooth implant.

When to see an Urgent Care Dentist?

Tooth ache or tooth pain
A broken or lost tooth – fractured teeth may be very painful and can also cause jaw bone infections and acute abscess.
A sore pimple on the gum near a tooth – this may also be an infection or dental abscess. Sometimes Abscesses need to be opened, incised and drained to prevent spread of infection and reduce pain.
Missing or broken crown or filling – a broken tooth restoration of any kind needs to be repaired asap to prevent leakage of bacteria into a tooth and irreversible tooth nerve damage. Irreversible nerve damage will require a root canal or tooth removal.
A tooth that has been dislodged – loose and dislodged teeth that are not stable need to be splinted and secured so the gum can heal properly, so a dislodged tooth can heal and tighten back up.
Sudden, severe swelling – swelling is either caused by a trauma or an infection. x-rays will need to be done to determine the source of the infection and an antibiotic my need to be started.
An object caught in between the teeth and gum that can’t be removed with brushing and flossing – an object stuck in the gum can cause a gum infection or periodontal abscess
Trauma to gums, lips or palate – injuries may need stitches. Immediate treatment can decrease risk of oral infection and ugly scarring.
