I recently chipped one of my front teeth while eating and noticed a small fracture. It doesn’t hurt much, but it looks uneven and I’m worried it might get worse if left untreated. I’m wondering if this is something a general dentist can fix or if I need to see a specialist.
Yes, a general dentist at Ashford Dental Centre can usually treat minor tooth fractures. They can assess the damage and provide treatments such as bonding, smoothing or a filling to restore the tooth’s shape and function. If the fracture is deeper or involves the nerve, then perhaps more complicated treatment may be needed such as root canal treatment or pulp capping. However, all this can be done by general dentists at Ashford Dental Centre.
