Broken or chipped tooth repair in Solapur

Repair options

The right repair depends on how much of the tooth is lost and whether the nerve is affected:

• Small chip: smoothed or rebuilt with tooth-coloured composite, often in one visit
• Larger break: a crown to cover and protect the tooth
• Break that reaches the nerve: root canal treatment, then a crown
• Tooth that cannot be saved: removal and replacement, for example with an implant

  Why missing teeth can lead to broken teeth

  A 37-year-old patient came to the clinic with a broken tooth. His X-ray and 3D scan show how missing teeth that were never replaced put extra pressure on the remaining teeth while eating. Replacing missing teeth protects the teeth you still have. Captions in Marathi.

What to do straight away

Rinse your mouth gently, keep any broken piece in milk, and avoid chewing on that side. If a permanent tooth is knocked out completely, hold it by the crown (not the root), keep it in milk and come in immediately: the first hour matters most.
