A broken or cracked tooth is always considered a dental emergency, even if the pain seems manageable at first.
Ignoring a broken tooth allows bacteria to enter, increasing the risk of infection.
At Meadows Dental Care, we offer same-day dentist appointments to stabilize and treat broken teeth, helping prevent further damage or tooth loss.
Your Austin emergency dentist can often save a broken tooth if you act quickly — and dental crowns in Austin restore chips and breaks for the long term.
Treat it as one. Even a painless chip can expose inner tooth layers to bacteria, and a crack can spread with every bite. Same-day evaluation usually means simpler, cheaper repair — bonding or a crown instead of a root canal.
Rinse with warm water, save any fragments in milk, cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum, and avoid chewing on that side. Then call your dentist — timing matters most in the first hours.
Tell us a little about what you need — we'll be in touch shortly.
