My tooth cracked but does not hurt. Is it still urgent?+
Lack of pain does not rule out a significant fracture, and a damaged tooth can remain vulnerable. Phone the clinic, describe the break and we can help you judge how soon to come in.
Should I keep the piece that broke off?+
Yes, save anything you can find and bring it to your appointment. Please do not attempt to attach it yourself using glue or any other household product.
Can you fix a broken tooth with a filling?+
Direct repair can suit cavities, chips and smaller damaged areas. Larger fractures may need a different approach, so the choice follows your examination.
Is a broken tooth always saved?+
Not always. Many factors affect what is possible, including where the crack is and how deep it runs. The dentist can explain your options honestly once the tooth has been assessed.
What will repairing my tooth cost?+
That depends on the treatment you need, so an exact figure has to wait for a diagnosis. Ask for an estimate, and bring your plan details so coverage questions can be looked into.
Can Garden City residents call about a broken tooth first?+
Please do. Calling (204) 338-3003 is the quickest way to describe the damage and find out what appointment might be appropriate at our McPhillips Street clinic.
