The first step is don’t panic.
Many broken teeth can still be repaired, especially if you’re seen promptly. Rinse your mouth with warm water, avoid chewing on that side, and save any broken pieces if possible.
If the broken tooth has a sharp edge, dental wax from a pharmacy may help protect your cheek or tongue until you’re seen.
Call us as soon as possible. We’ll determine whether the tooth can be repaired with a filling, crown, or another treatment, and whenever possible, we’ll see emergency patients the same day.
