fractures are a common dental issue that can occur in daily life. The severity can range from a minor crack to the complete loss of the tooth. In addition to aesthetic concerns, a broken tooth may lead to serious health problems such as pain, sensitivity, and an increased risk of infection. Depending on the size and location of the fracture, different treatment methods may be applied. Simple fractures can be repaired with fillings or bonding, while more severe cases may require root canal treatment or even tooth extraction. Although there are temporary solutions for broken tooth pain, a permanent solution depends on the evaluation of a dentist.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#How_Does_a_Tooth_Break\" >How Does a Tooth Break?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#What_Happens_When_a_Tooth_Breaks\" >What Happens When a Tooth Breaks?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#What_Should_Be_Done_If_a_Tooth_Breaks\" >What Should Be Done If a Tooth Breaks?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#How_Is_a_Broken_Tooth_Extracted\" >How Is a Broken Tooth Extracted?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#Dealing_with_a_Broken_Tooth\" >Dealing with a Broken Tooth?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#What_Helps_with_Broken_Tooth_Pain\" >What Helps with Broken Tooth Pain?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/que-se-passe-t-il-si-une-dent-se-casse\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Tooth_Fractures\" >Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fractures<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_a_Tooth_Break\"><\/span>How Does a Tooth Break?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Teeth can become damaged and break for many reasons.

The dentist first evaluates the tooth with an X-ray to determine whether extraction is necessary. If the root is visible and intact, the tooth can be removed with a simple extraction. However, if the root is embedded in the gum or fractured, surgical intervention may be required. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and post-procedure care instructions are provided. After extraction, options such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/our-treatment\/dental-implant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">implants<\/a><\/strong>, bridges, or dentures may be recommended to restore the missing tooth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-010b81f elementor-cta--layout-image-above elementor-cta--skin-classic elementor-animated-content elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"010b81f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;bounceIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg elementor-bg\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/veneers-1170x694.webp);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"veneers\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__bg-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dealing_with_a_Broken_Tooth\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDealing with a Broken Tooth?\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAt Dentakademi Global, our dentists provide fast and effective treatment to relieve pain and restore your tooth safely.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__button-wrapper elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-cta__button elementor-button elementor-size-\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBook Your Emergency Dental Consultation\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a6eca5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a6eca5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Helps_with_Broken_Tooth_Pain\"><\/span>What Helps with Broken Tooth Pain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>To relieve pain caused by a broken tooth, cold compresses, salt water rinses, and over-the-counter pain relievers can offer temporary relief.
