A damaged front tooth can feel like a problem of looks and health at once. Save any piece you can find, then phone our McPhillips Street clinic and tell them about both.
Let's find a time
A small chip at the back of your mouth may go unnoticed for a while. One on a front tooth is different: you catch it in every mirror, feel it against your lip and start smiling with your mouth closed. If you are in Shaughnessy Park and suddenly conscious of a tooth like this, perhaps with work or an important occasion coming up, there is nothing vain about wanting it looked at.
It is also fair to want more than a cosmetic answer. A fracture should be assessed even if it does not hurt, because the visible chip may not be all of the damage. Winnipeg North Dental would examine the tooth at the clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, then go through repair choices that suit what is found.

If a fragment came away, keep it and bring it. It costs nothing to save.
How the tooth looks is a legitimate concern, so feel free to raise it during the call.
Biting into hard food with a damaged front tooth is an avoidable risk until it is checked.
A dentist has to deal with these in order. Whether the tooth is healthy underneath tends to shape which repair makes sense.
Damage can run deeper than the edge you can see, so the first step is working out what actually happened to the tooth.
Repair options depend on the size and location of the damage. Your dentist can tell you what would be suitable and whether it would take further visits.
A blow to the face may be more than a dental matter. Call 911 or get emergency medical care for a major facial injury, bleeding that continues, loss of consciousness, severe swelling, or any difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Treatment depends on how far the damage extends, so this overview is general rather than a promise of how things will go.
Request your visitTell the clinic how the tooth was damaged, when it happened, and whether it hurts or reacts to anything. Mention any date you are concerned about, too.
Your dentist goes through your symptoms and health history at the appointment, along with how the accident came about.
The tooth is examined, and images are used as necessary to see what lies beyond the part that shows when you smile.
Any urgent issue is managed first. You then hear the realistic options, and whether final treatment needs a separate appointment.
Rinse gently and keep any fragments you find. Chew on the other side of your mouth, and put a cool compress on the outside of your face if swelling starts.
Do not try to reattach the piece with glue from around the house. Keep the fragment safe and let the dentist decide whether it has any use.
A pale blue dental chair, and a desk set up for conversation.
It can be awkward to show a tooth you are embarrassed about. Dental professionals look at damaged teeth all the time, so try to speak openly about how this one is affecting you.
It may be the look, the sharp feel or the fear of more breakage. Each one is useful to know.
A candid view of what can be done, and by when, is better than hoping for the wrong thing.
If air, cold or a light touch makes the tooth react, mention it before the exam begins.
Past the first visit
What you need afterward depends on the damage and on the repair. Find out what to watch for and what to take care with while eating.
Find out if you should avoid biting directly into certain foods with that tooth.
If a temporary fix was placed, a further visit may be needed to complete the work.
A tooth that starts to ache or react after a repair is worth phoning about.
Something feels different about that tooth? Call (204) 338-3003 and describe it.

Ask our teamCalling is sensible even if it is small and painless, because you cannot judge how deep a crack runs from the outside. The clinic can help you decide how soon it should be examined.
That depends on the damage, and no one can honestly promise a result before seeing the tooth. Ask the dentist which options suit your situation and what each one can reasonably achieve.
Yes, tell the clinic when you call. A date may not alter what the tooth needs, but it gives everyone the facts when timing is discussed with you.
Please talk to the clinic first. Avoid household glue altogether, keep your fragment safe, and ask what is appropriate for your tooth until you can be seen.
