If you’ve broken or chipped a tooth, it’s important to seek an immediate appointment with your dentist. Broken teeth can cause significant pain and discomfort, and prompt treatment is crucial to avoid further complications. Common causes of broken molars include deep tooth decay or chewing on hard foods, both of which can lead to fractures.
At Acorn Dental, we’re committed to helping you save your tooth and restore your smile as quickly as possible. Don’t delay—getting treated early can prevent infection and ensure the best outcome for your oral health.
A broken tooth can often result in intense pain, especially if the break exposes the nerve. If you can’t see a dentist right away, there are a few steps you can take to manage the pain:
Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen can help alleviate discomfort. Always follow the recommended dosage instructions.
Warm Salt Water Rinse: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water three times a day to help reduce inflammation and clean the affected area.
Dental Emergency Kit: Consider purchasing a dental emergency kit from your local pharmacy to cover any sharp edges of the broken tooth, preventing it from cutting the inside of your mouth.
Eat Soft Foods: Stick to soft foods and avoid using the broken tooth to chew, reducing the risk of further damage.
Book a Dental Appointment: Schedule an appointment with a dentist as soon as possible for professional treatment.
At Acorn Dental, our skilled dentists will assess the condition of your tooth and perform an x-ray to determine the extent of the damage. If only a small piece of the tooth is broken, we can typically repair it with a composite filling in just one visit. For more extensive damage, additional treatments such as a dental crown or tooth extraction may be necessary.
If you’re experiencing pain from a broken tooth, don’t wait. Contact Acorn Dental for affordable treatment and expert care. With our three locations in Moseley, Barnt Green and Blythe Valley Park, we’re here to help you restore your smile and alleviate your discomfort.

If you break a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Contact Acorn Dental as soon as possible for urgent care—acting quickly can make a big difference in preserving your tooth. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relief can help until you are seen by a dentist.
You might notice sharp pain when biting, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort that comes and goes. Sometimes, the crack is visible, while in other cases, it may be hidden beneath the surface. At Acorn Dental, our team uses modern imaging and careful examination to detect even small fractures that might not be obvious. If you’re unsure, a quick check-up is the safest way to confirm and protect your dental health.
A tooth can break due to biting hard foods, accidents, untreated decay, teeth grinding, or weakened fillings. Even everyday habits like chewing ice or using your teeth to open packaging can increase the risk. At Acorn Dental, we see that cracks often start small but worsen if ignored. If you suspect damage, early treatment helps prevent pain, infection, or further complications.
