BROKEN OR CRACKED TEETH

If you have a cracked or broken tooth, especially if it’s painful or the sharp edges are cutting your mouth, seek dental care right away. The dentist may be able to restore the tooth with a crown or filling.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

• Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.

• Apply a cold compress if there is swelling or pain.

• If the tooth is sharp, cover it with temp orary filling kit.

• Call your dentist right away to arrange for an emergency visit.
