We know that toothache can develop quickly to the point of debilitating pain so we will endeavour to see you on the day. Toothache is your body indicating to you that the tooth is infected and should be seen promptly to avoid spread of infection which can be potentially life threatening. So if you are having a toothache, it is important to have it treated as soon as possible.

Broken tooth should be fixed immediately. When teeth break the inside of the tooth is exposed and lets bacteria from the mouth in. This can cause an infection in the tooth eventually leading to a toothache. Too often we see patients with a broken tooth that has been left because it was not sore ending up needing a root canal or extraction because it was not addressed immediately.

Teeth may break due to:

• Heavily filled
• Decay in the tooth
• Heavy grinders
• Lost an old filling
• Trauma

Our friendly dentists at Ferny Hills Dental will thoroughly assess the broken tooth and go over the best options for restoring your tooth. Depending on the size of the breakage and the amount of tooth structure left we may suggest tooth-coloured composite fillings, porcelain onlays or crowns.
