Can a General Dentist Repair a Broken Tooth?
Posted on 1/10/2022 by Office
Can a General Dentist Repair a Broken Tooth?A broken tooth signifies an underlying dental problem that needs to be addressed before they grow and become significant dental issues. It is not advisable to consult a dental expert for therapeutic purposes, which leads to either a general dentist or an emergency dentist.

There are many consequences of having a broken tooth, which range from self-esteem issues or aesthetic problems. A fractured tooth also makes it difficult to speak and eat, which increases the risk of getting a cavity or experiencing excruciating pain.

Difference Between a General Dentist and Emergency Dentist


Both dental professionals are focused on providing patients with various dental services to meet the patient's oral health needs. This includes repairing a broken tooth, among other services. A general dentist and an emergency dentist are both qualified to handle such dental issues, but an emergency dentist is more qualified for invasive surgery. General dentists and emergency dentists fix trauma-related injuries like a broken tooth. General dentists provide long-term care for optimum oral health, while an emergency dentist focuses on providing immediate relief.

When to See a General Dentist


Broken teeth can cause cosmetic problems and are likely to become painful if something is not done. Consulting a professional general dentist goes a long way in ensuring that the cause of the break is known before proceeding to treatment. Dentists can perform various procedures, but when the condition proves to be complicated, a patient is referred to a specialist.

There's no doubt that harboring a broken tooth can be painful, regardless of whether it's serious or mild. Since you are used to your dentist, it is advisable to seek professional help before things escalate when the tooth can't be salvaged. It is advisable to schedule an appointment with your dentist for early restoration.
