Here is
some advice
if you have
broken a
tooth or
filling or
both. Firstly,
does it hurt
or is it
just a bit
rough or
sharp. If
it is painless
do not worry,
there is
no urgency
but it will
need attention.
If it is
a bit sharp
then rub
the sharp
edge with
an emery
board to
smooth the
edge a bit.
If it is
only sensitive
to hot,cold
and sweet
things the
sensitivity
should ease
a bit but
it indicates
the tooth
is alive
and yes you
need to get
it fixed.
The urgency
depends on
just how
sensitive
it is.
If
it is developing
a continuous
dull ache
with sensitivity
to hot in
particular
then it needs
more urgent
attention.
See the pain
section on
toothache
of the website.
