How To Fix A Broken Tooth

March 04, 2016

A broken tooth may require a root canal in Belmont, so you should contact your dentist immediately after chipping or breaking a tooth. As you will learn in this video, a dentist uses different tools to fix a broken tooth.

If a tooth has suffered severe trauma, it will require a root canal. A dentist uses a root canal to remove a tooth's infected inner pulp and preserve the natural tooth. Depending on the severity of the break, dentists may restore the tooth with a dental crown. For small chips, a dentist may simply smooth down the affected area or use a veneer to mask any damage.
