Did you break your tooth while enjoying your favourite chocolate bar or pork crackling? Broken tooth is one of the dental emergencies we come across so commonly. The chip may be small and easy to repair or sometimes the whole tooth can fall apart. No matter the size of the chip or the extent to which the tooth is broken, it is important to pay attention to the broken tooth straight away to avoid any pain or dental emergency.

Teeth can break because of different reasons.

• Most common cause is biting into very hard food like pork crackling or ice cubes or bones or nuts.
• Teeth grinding can make your teeth susceptible to fracture or cracks.
• Presence of a large filling in the tooth that may have weakened the rest of the tooth.
• Biting or holding objects in between the teeth like nails, pins, pens.
• General wear and tear with age.
• From accidents that can cause dental trauma
• From sport injury if protective mouthguard is not being worn
