Chipped, cracked, fractured, worn, and otherwise broken or damaged teeth greatly impact the appearance and comfort of your smile. Living with damaged teeth can impact your oral health and confidence in your smile. We are your dentist in Rockland County, NY, here to help you repair your smile and preserve your oral health.
You can experience multiple dental problems over time if you have damaged teeth. Chips and cracks may be prone to damage from your natural bite. Biting and chewing can potentially damage these teeth further, so it is important to receive professional care as soon as you damage a tooth.
Many patients with tooth wear or damaged teeth are at risk of developing TMJ disorders. Tooth damage and an uneven bite can contribute to temporomandibular joint disorders by creating an imbalanced bite. Imbalanced bites can place pressure on the jaw joints and different teeth more than others.
Over time, patients with TMD can experience uneven tooth wear, pain eating hard or crunchy foods, jaw popping, teeth grinding, and other issues that can permanently damage the TMJ.
Harmful bacteria can also enter a crack or chip in a tooth, leading to tooth decay. Tooth decay that enters a tooth affects the cells, blood vessels, and nerves that keep teeth alive. We may require a root canal or extraction if patients have severely damaged and infected teeth. It is essential to receive an examination if you have one or more damaged teeth to prevent these additional problems.
