There are times when it’s okay to wait to tell you dentist. But when you are talking about something as serious as a broken tooth, then it is important to tell your oral health team. You see, your teeth are normally kept safe by a layer of tissue called enamel, which coats each tooth. Enamel is even stronger than bone, but you can still damage it through injury or tooth decay. And when you break a tooth, bacteria find their way inside.
When you’re dealing with an oral health issue, tell Dr. Haj-Ali, DDS, MS at Dreem Dentistry in Leawood, KS. We understand the value of having a safe and secure smile. Breaking a tooth suddenly increases your risk of developing a bacterial infection inside, where they can cause a seriously painful toothache. Infection can spread, as well, so as soon as you notice the damage, call your local dentist to schedule an examination.
Without the protection of your enamel, your teeth are in danger. Schedule a time to talk about restoration with Dreem Dentistry.
