Broken Tooth Emergency: What to Do Before You See a Dentist

Broken Tooth Emergency: What to Do Before You See a Dentist

A broken or cracked tooth is always considered a dental emergency, even if the pain seems manageable at first.

A broken tooth is fixable fast: book an emergency dentist appointment today, and for minor chips ask about dental bonding for chipped teeth — often repaired in a single visit.

What to Do Immediately

1. Rinse your mouth with warm water
2. Avoid chewing on the affected side
3. Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
4. Contact an emergency dentist near you

Ignoring a broken tooth allows bacteria to enter, increasing the risk of infection.
