What should I do if my tooth is cracked?

If there is a crack in the tooth, the best way to deal with it is to go to the dental hospital for a reinforcement and care, otherwise it will be more serious and will affect more, because the toothache is not a disease, and the pain is really fatal.

If the tooth is cracked, if it is not caused by external force, then we must seek medical attention in time. Failure to seek medical attention in a timely manner can affect the tissues around our tooth roots and easily cause our gums to swell. If the tooth is cracked, it depends on the situation, and it is generally necessary to extract the tooth; A week after the tooth extraction, we will have a filling.

If the tooth is cracked, if it is not due to external force, then the tooth crack is formed in a slow process. A cracked tooth can cause a lot of damage to our gums, so we should go to the hospital as soon as we find out that we have a cracked tooth. So what should we do after a cracked tooth?

Here is a brief introduction to what to do after a cracked tooth?

We should go to the hospital as soon as we find a cracked tooth**. The doctor will prescribe the best method for us based on the condition of our cracked teeth. If we can't keep it, we need to pull out our teeth.

If the cracked tooth is only half broken, the doctor will remove the broken tooth and keep the good one. If the whole tooth is broken, then the doctor will extract the whole tooth for us. Before the tooth extraction, the doctor will disinfect and anesthetize our teeth, and only after the disinfection and anesthetic are done will we have the teeth extracted.

After the tooth is extracted, we also need to use some medicine to stop bleeding and relieve pain.

After the tooth extraction, we have to go to the hospital again for a filling after a week of conditioning. Dental fillings can be either implant restoration or removable denture restoration. The cost of dental implants is relatively high, and the restoration of removable dentures is relatively cheap, but the foreign body is more emotional.

After the teeth are filled, we need to pay attention that in the first few days we cannot chew with our teeth, it is better to eat some liquid food. Also, remember not to brush your teeth and only rinse your mouth with water.

In daily life, people often have cracked teeth, or because they eat hard things, or are hit by external forces, etc., they often feel very painful, and they can't eat, and their lives are greatly affected. So, how do we split a tooth? How can we prevent splitting before it happens?

Causes of Tooth Splitting:

1. Caused by external force: teeth have a certain bearing capacity, if this bearing capacity is exceeded, the teeth may appear cracked and split. Therefore, we should try to eat less hard food, do not use our teeth to open wine bottles, eat nuts, etc., and develop a good habit of using our teeth.

At the same time, when eating, you should also be extra careful to avoid accidentally biting hard objects, such as chopsticks, bones, etc.

2. Tooth decay: When caries develops to a certain extent, teeth will appear cavities and chips, so it is easy to break teeth. Therefore, if you have tooth decay, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible for ** and filling.

3. Root canal**: Pulpitis and apical periodontitis generally require root canal** to save our original teeth. However, if the tooth after the root canal loses its nutrient supply, it will become brittle, and if the porcelain crown is not restored to protect the original tooth, the tooth will split slightly.

4. Physiological factors: After people get older, especially the elderly, the organic matter of the teeth gradually decreases with age, while the inorganic content of the teeth gradually increases with age, which makes the teeth brittle. Tooth enamel itself is a hard, brittle tissue, and if you bite hard or bite something hard, your teeth will crack, causing them to break.

How to solve the problem of tooth splitting, which needs to be done according to the degree of splitting:

1. If the tooth is only a crack in the surface enamel, the doctor can adjust the occlusion to prevent the crack from continuing to expand; If the fissure is deep, a cavity can be prepared for filling.

2. If the tooth splitting is large and accompanied by pulpitis, it is necessary to repair the tooth defect by porcelain crown repair after the root canal is carried out to protect the original tooth.

3. The tooth splitting area is very large, even reaching the root, if the tooth cannot be retained after inspection, the affected tooth needs to be extracted, and then the porcelain tooth or dental implant is repaired.

Although teeth are small, they are related to whether we can eat and live normally in our daily life, and they also have a huge impact on our health. Therefore, don't wait for a cracked tooth, and go to the hospital in time to protect the health of the teeth to the greatest extent and keep our own teeth. Usually, everyone should also pay attention to the habit of using teeth, and don't use it to tear the packaging and open the wine bottle at will!
