Caring for your grin involves a number of moving parts, as just about anything can cause harm or threaten your smile’s integrity. Indeed, it is for this reason that we must stay on top of our oral health care with preventive treatment, however, this does not mean that cosmetic concerns should be ignored completely. As a matter of fact, there is a thin line between a cosmetic concern and one that significantly harms your health, and as such, it is imperative you seek treatment sooner rather than later. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist details the importance of seeking treatment for a chipped or cracked tooth, and how surface-level concerns can be addressed with cosmetic treatment.

Determining Severity

It goes without saying that dental emergencies can occur at any given time to any person. What’s more? The severity of the situation is going to vary depending on a number of factors, and the most important thing to consider is seeking care in a timely manner. Indeed, the situation will only get worse with time, and it is always better to be safe than sorry.

The truth of the matter is, a physical accident can vary in terms of severity, which then cause variation in how to proceed with treatment. For example, a serious sports injury may result in a tooth becoming dislodged completely, or it can lead to a minor chip due to a miscalculation or misstep.

In cases where the damage endured is merely surface level, our team will provide your next best steps in terms of how to address the matter. To learn more about this process and what our team can do to help, give us a call today.
