Having a broken tooth is not always easy. Many people would like to have a broken tooth be corrected in some capacity, but it is not always an option. This leads many people to wonder what will happen if they do not ever fix their broken tooth? Nobleton residents should know this will be different depending on which tooth is broken, and how severe the break is.
A broken tooth can happen in many different ways. The most common situations are when someone breaks their teeth when eating a hard or crunchy food, but it is also quite common that someone will have their teeth broken from external forces such as a sport’s related injury.
If you are someone who has one or more broken teeth, it can help to learn more about what can happen if they are not able to correct the tooth that can cause issues.
Continuous pain and Discomfort
Depending on the tooth in question, and how the person experiences a broken tooth, Nobleton residents should know that one of the issues that can happen if the tooth is not fixed is that they can experience continuous pain and discomfort.
For example, a person who has a chipped tooth, or has broken a portion of one of their front teeth, there is a good chance that a person may not have too many issues associated with a broken tooth in most cases. If it is a back tooth however, this pain and discomfort can be more apartment to people.
Some people’s pain will manifest when they are eating or drinking food, while others may have pain when they come into contact with the exposed area. People will experience different kinds of pain and discomfort with a broken tooth.
Tooth Decay is a More Serious Problem
When someone has a broken tooth, Nobleton residents need to understand that tooth decay is a much more common and a much more serious issue that they have to worry about. This is one thing that is helped when someone corrects a broken tooth.
Tooth decay can often make a broken tooth much worse, and it can ruin the structural integrity of the remaining amount of tooth.
Most people are aware of a cavity as a form of tooth decay, but a more serious method is when someone has the root or pulp of a tooth get affected. This is something that will have to be fixed by a root canal, which is not something that anyone really wants to deal with.
