Tooth Fracture treatment in Ciudad de México

A tooth fracture is the partial or total breakage of the dental structure, which can affect only the enamel or extend into the deeper layers of the tooth. Its severity depends on the depth and the area involved.

Common causes: blows or falls, biting very hard objects or foods, and weakening of the tooth from wear or previous decay.

Common symptoms: pain when chewing, sensitivity to cold or heat, rough edges noticeable with the tongue, and, in some cases, spontaneous discomfort.

Which specialist treats it? The evaluation falls to the dentist and, when it involves minors, to the pediatric dentist, who determine the extent of the damage. With a broken tooth, especially if there is pain or bleeding, it is worth seeking care promptly to avoid complications.
