Did you have a broken tooth? Our emergency dentist in Calgary can walk you through the step-by-step process of what to do if you have chipped tooth enamel. If you take immediate steps and get same-day dental treatment, there’s a possibility that the fragment can be bonded back in place!
Locate the Fragment
If possible, try to find the broken piece of tooth. Don’t worry about cleaning it off. If you can’t find it, Dr. Esmail can bond over the area. Be sure to control any bleeding with mild pressure and a clean cloth or tissue.
Store it Properly
The most important part of repairing a broken tooth is storing the chipped fragment properly, so that it doesn’t dry out. You need to completely submerge it in a liquid such as milk, contact solution, saline, saliva, or tap water with a pinch of salt. Put it in a sealed container so that there’s no chance of the piece getting lost.
Get to our Calgary dentist office within the next 1-2 hours. Seeing you quickly means the best chances of success for reattaching the fractured edge.
