FAQ

Which specialist should I consult for the treatment of a tooth fracture?

You can consult a general dentist or a specialist in Restorative or Cosmetic Dentistry. At Clinic EGO, our dentists will propose a treatment option that closely matches the appearance and function of your natural teeth.

What methods are used in the treatment?

Treatment methods can include dental fillings, crowns, prosthetics, root canal therapy, and dental implants, depending on the extent and location of the fracture.

How is the treatment method selected?

The treatment method is selected based on factors such as the size and location of the fracture, the overall health of the tooth, and the patient’s specific needs and preferences.

Should the broken piece be preserved?

If the broken piece is intact and brought to the treatment, it may be reattached using strong dental adhesives. If possible, you should preserve the broken piece by cleaning it with water and storing it in a moist environment until the appointment.

What if the broken piece cannot be found?

If the broken piece is missing, alternative methods such as dental fillings or dental crowns can be used. At our clinic, we aim to achieve a restoration that closely resembles the appearance of your natural teeth.

What problems can arise if a tooth fracture is left untreated?

Leaving a tooth fracture untreated could potentially lead to an infection, discomfort during chewing, and more serious complications over time, including tooth loss and the need for root canal treatment.

Can the treated tooth fracture again?

There is a possibility that the tooth could fracture again, especially during physical activities or without proper oral care. However, if you adhere to your dentist’s advice and maintain good oral hygiene, the treated tooth can last for many years.

What should I pay attention to during the treatment of a tooth fracture?

Maintaining a balanced diet and attending regular dental check-ups are important throughout the treatment period.

When can normal functions be resumed after the treatment of a tooth fracture?

The time it takes to return to normal function may vary depending on the treatment method used, but generally, it could range from a few days to a few weeks.

What dental care methods should be applied alongside the treatment of a tooth fracture?

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. Using a mouth guard, particularly during physical activities, can help protect against further impacts and injuries. Regular dental check-ups and adherence to your dentist’s instructions also contribute to a smooth recovery process.
