Whatever you try to do to look after your oral health and your teeth each day of your life in south east London, you cannot ever prepare for an emergency; all you can do is to find ways of overcoming the crisis as best you can. A damaged tooth is such a crisis you need to be ready for and although in some cases, it isn’t always viable to get immediate treatment it is always useful to know what to do. You can hold out with painkillers and also by ensuring that your injury is clean, you will also hold off infection, but it is important that you get any injury to a tooth repaired to stop such infection further down the line. There are cracking little cosmetic treatments that will restore your tooth completely: a crown is used in the rebuilding of a badly damaged tooth and will ensure that the bite remains true. If you have just chipped a bit off your tooth or the enamel has been cracked, dental bonding or veneers will help seal the tooth and also stop any chance of infection breaking out. With any injury in your mouth, it needs to be attended to as soon as you can so that things don’t worsen.
