<p>A chipped tooth <a title="Read more about Chipped Tooth" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/chipped-tooth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-When-a-Situation-Calls-for-an-Emergency-Surgery">may occur when</a> the enamel is worn away by trauma or excessive wear and tear. As a result, the tooth surface may become sharp and jagged. Patients with tooth decay, cavities, and large fillings are at particular risk for chipped teeth. Bruxism can also wear down the enamel, as can eating acid-rich foods.</p>
<p>Chipped tooth treatment is typically dependent on the chip's location, severity, and symptoms. It becomes a medical emergency when it causes severe pain and impedes one's ability to eat and sleep. More extensive chips may be reattached or bonded. Porcelain veneers or dental onlays may also be an option.</p>

Symptoms may range from intermittent pain when chewing to sudden temperature sensitivity. It is not uncommon for these symptoms to come and go, making it difficult for cracked teeth to be diagnosed. Patients experiencing these symptoms or suspect they have a cracked tooth should seek medical attention immediately, as early intervention is key to saving the tooth.</p>
<p>Treatment depends on the extent, location, and type of the crack. A fractured cusp may be treated with a filling or crown. A crack that extends vertically toward the root may require a root canal. A split tooth will require endodontic treatment. In contrast, a vertical root fracture may necessitate endodontic surgery or tooth extraction.</p>

Though they may occur in different areas of the tooth for different reasons, periapical tooth abscesses are particularly common. This type of abscess typically occurs due to an untreated dental cavity, trauma, or prior dental work.</p>
<p>Infected teeth will need to have their tooth abscesses drained to get rid of the infection. In most cases, root canal treatment will be necessary to attempt to save the tooth. However, in more severe cases, tooth extraction may be necessary. An untreated tooth abscess may lead to life-threatening complications. As such, it requires immediate attention.</p>

<p>While damage to orthodontics rarely requires dental emergency surgery, a patient's first step should always be to determine the extent of the issue. Damage to orthodontics is typically considered severe when it includes trauma to the teeth, mouth, or face.</p>
<p>Patients with orthodontic devices may suffer puncture wounds or profuse bleeding after experiencing trauma to the mouth. Emergency dental surgery may be necessary when damage to orthodontics results in swelling of the gums, mouth, and face. Unmanageable pain may also be a symptom.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What are the symptoms of a tooth abscess?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Tooth abscesses are often characterized by a persistent, throbbing headache radiating to the jawbone, neck, or ear. Patients may also experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures or to the pressure of chewing or biting. In some cases, tooth abscesses may also lead to fever, swelling, tender lymph nodes, or difficulty breathing or swallowing.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can chipped teeth ever grow back?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">No. Once you have chipped your tooth, that portion of your tooth is no longer there and professional repair is necessary. If left untreated, chipped teeth are susceptible to infection and will only worsen with time.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Will a cracked tooth heal completely after emergency dental surgery?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It is impossible for a cracked tooth to heal completely. Still, emergency dental surgery may help alleviate any pain and stop the crack from worsening. A properly placed crown will also protect the treated tooth and restore its function.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">One of the wires from my braces is poking my cheek. Is this a dental emergency? What should I do?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">This is not a dental emergency, but it can lead to one. Make an appointment with your dentist to determine whether you need to come in for an appointment. In the meantime, you can use a Q-tip or pencil eraser to push the wire flat against the tooth.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How can I prevent a dental emergency?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Unfortunately, even the best-laid plans sometimes go awry. Still, there are always some measures you can take to minimize your risk of a dental emergency. For instance, athletes may want to wear mouthguards when necessary. All patients should also avoid biting down on foods that are too hard, visit the dentist at least twice yearly, and maintain proper oral hygiene.</span></p>
