Emergency treatment

Emergency treatment

In an emergency, the dentist will assess the depth and extent of the crack, fissure or fracture. If necessary, he or she will adjust the affected tooth to reduce the load while waiting for a permanent treatment. If a piece is loose, it can be removed and the cutting edge polished. If the crack, fissure or fracture is too deep and the tooth cannot be restored, the dentist may decide to extract the tooth immediately.

The dentist may choose to polish the cutting edge for the patient’s comfort without repairing it. Alternatively, the dentist may cut out the cracked, chipped or fractured part of the tooth and rebuild the tooth with a bonded composite resin (white filling) or dental amalgam (grey filling). For health reasons, this option is not offered at our dental clinic (see mercury toxicity). It should be noted that these solutions do not strengthen the tooth and do not prevent the lesion from progressing deeper into the tooth.

As mentioned above, the dentist may choose to rebuild the tooth with a bonded composite resin (white filling) or dental amalgam (grey filling). For health reasons, this option is not offered at our dental clinic (see mercury toxicity). It is important to stress that these solutions do not strengthen the tooth and do not prevent the evolution of the crack deeper into the tooth. In order to strengthen the tooth, a ceramic filling such as an inlay or crown is best bonded to your tooth. This option restores approximately 98% of the strength of your tooth to its natural state. It is possible to perform this procedure with the CEREC technology offered at the office in one session. This means you can go home with your inlay the same day. Laboratory-made ceramic inlays or crowns are also used when the situation requires stronger thin-layer materials (gold or zircon) or when aesthetic considerations require the collaboration of a laboratory technician, such as for a rehabilitation involving the anterior teeth. In these cases, a temporary restoration will be installed at the first appointment and the final restoration will be installed at another visit 2-3 weeks later.
