Without the protection of your enamel, your smile is in trouble. This material forms the outer surface of the tooth, and it normally blocks bacteria from making their way inside, where things are more vulnerable. But when you crack or break a tooth, you could lose this protection, putting your smile at real risk of bacterial infection, so it\u2019s important to make an appointment with your dentist<\/a> as soon as you notice the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At The Dental Place in Grand Prairie, TX,<\/a> we know how valuable your smile is to you. It\u2019s a big part of who you are, and we are here to help you keep it intact and gorgeous as you age; sometimes, that means having a discussion about restorative dentistry. If you have recently cracked, broken, or even chipped one or more of your natural teeth, we can help you find a pathway forward. It all starts with a phone call to our front desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you break a tooth, it\u2019s time to call.\u00a0<\/strong>Reach out to The Dental Place today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your Smile Relies On Your Enamel To Stay Safe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even within an otherwise healthy smile, a cracked or broken tooth can become a real issue. That\u2019s because there are bacteria living within your mouth, and they are always trying to cause trouble. Normally, your enamel is there to block their spread, but if you experience damage to one of your teeth, you could lose it. At this point, your smile becomes at risk of bacterial infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When bacteria compromise a tooth, it can lead to a seriously painful toothache that requires a root canal treatment<\/a> or an extraction to correct. So, before you start to feel pain or discomfort at the affected area, reach out to your dentist. Being proactive could help you to avoid further harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break A Tooth? Ask About Your Dental Crown Options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At your appointment, your provider will first want to take a look at the damage. Through a full examination, your dentist can give you an idea of what has happened, as well as some tips on how to treat your broken tooth.<\/a> Remember that being proactive can help you to avoid further deterioration, so this visit is vital to your smile success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re there, be sure to ask about all of your options in dental crown material. We have different possibilities, and some of them blend in perfectly with the shade of your natural enamel. When you break a tooth, we are here for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
