Advanced Broken Teeth Treatment in Hyderabad
A broken tooth or teeth can occur in anyone due to multiple causes. Broken teeth are more common than many people realise. Whether caused by an accident, decay, or biting something hard, a broken tooth requires attention. At Dr. Gowd’s Dental Clinic in Hyderabad, we help restore your teeth and maintain your oral health.
What is a Broken Tooth?
A broken tooth occurs when there is a crack, chip, or complete fracture in the tooth structure. It can affect both the visible part of the tooth (crown) and the root. While small chips may not cause much discomfort, larger cracks can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss if not treated promptly.
Causes of a Broken Tooth
- Accidents or Trauma: Falls, car accidents, or direct blows to the face can cause teeth to break.
- Chewing Hard Foods: Foods like ice, hard candies, or nuts can crack teeth.
- Tooth Decay: Cavities or large fillings can weaken teeth, making them more susceptible to breaking.
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Habitual grinding or clenching of teeth can gradually lead to cracks.
- Old Fillings: Old or large fillings may weaken the structure of a tooth, increasing the risk of fracture.
Types of Broken Tooth
- Craze Lines: Tiny cracks in the enamel that are usually harmless and do not require treatment.
- Fractured Cusp: A piece of the chewing surface breaks off. It’s often not painful but may need a dental crown.
- Cracked Tooth: A break from the cusp to the root. Sometimes painful, but often requires a root canal treatment.
- Split Tooth: The tooth splits into two or more parts. Sometimes it will have to be extracted if quite bad.
- Vertical Root Fracture: This is a fracture that starts in the root and extends upward. It may require root canal treatment or, in severe cases, extraction.
Before and After Broken Tooth
Treatment of Cracked Tooth
At Dr. Gowd’s Dental Clinic, we offer several treatment options depending on the severity of the break:
- Dental bonding: For small chips or cracks, bonding is a quick and cost-effective solution.
- Dental Crowns: If a significant portion of the tooth is broken, a crown can cover the tooth and protect it from further damage.
- Veneers: For front teeth with aesthetic damage, veneers provide a natural and beautiful solution.
- Root canal therapy: If the crack exposes the pulp (nerve), the tooth can often be saved with treatment.
- Extraction of Tooth: In severe cases where the tooth cannot be repaired, extraction may be necessary.

Avoid chewing on the broken tooth and contact your dentist as soon as possible for treatment.

To avoid breaking your teeth, Avoid chewing on hard substances like ice or hard candy. Wear a mouthguard if you play contact sports or grind your teeth at night. Regular dental checkups can also help catch any weaknesses or decay before they cause a break.
