Usually no. Routine toothache should be treated by a dentist. Attend A&E for serious trauma, breathing problems or severe spreading swelling.
Teeth may crack or break because of trauma, biting hard foods, large fillings or weakened tooth structure.
Treatment depends on how much of the tooth has been damaged.
Options may include a filling, crown, root canal treatment or another restorative procedure following assessment.
Losing a crown or filling can expose sensitive parts of the tooth and may make eating uncomfortable.
Avoid trying to permanently repair the tooth yourself.
Bring the crown with you if it has come out completely, as your dentist can assess whether it can be reused or whether another restoration is required.
A knocked-out adult tooth requires urgent attention.
Handle the tooth carefully by the crown rather than the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing it.
Where possible, place the tooth back into its socket. If this cannot be done safely, keep it moist and contact a dentist immediately.
The sooner a knocked-out tooth is assessed, the better the chance may be of successfully managing the injury.
