When a tooth breaks, it may not hurt. However, your tongue usually feels the sharp area quite quickly. Minor tooth fractures usually don’t cause pain, but if a large piece of the tooth breaks off, it can hurt. That’s because the nerve inside the tooth may be damaged. If it is exposed to air, or hot or cold foods or drinks, it can be extremely uncomfortable. If you have a broken tooth, see us as soon as possible. We can figure out if the break was caused by cavities, and if the tooth’s nerve is in danger. The sooner you see us the better… for your health and wallet. Call today 610-358-5690.
