What causes

a broken tooth?

One of the most common issues dentists see is a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth. Not only can a damaged tooth be painful, but they can lead to other dental problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
A cracked or broken tooth can be caused or contributed to by:

  • A fall or blow to the face
  • Biting into a hard substance
  • A compulsive chewing habit (ie. chewing ice or pens)
  • Bruxism (excessive clenching or grinding)
  • Decaying teeth
  • Health conditions and certain medications that weaken teeth

What contributes

to chipped teeth?

While tooth damage often occurs from a blow to the face or another specific incident, inadequate oral care can actually increase the risk of cracks or breaks. Skipping regular brushing and flossing allows plaque and bacteria to accumulate, leading to weakened enamel, cavities, and decay, which make your teeth more vulnerable to damage.

To reduce the chances of a broken tooth, be sure to stay on top of your routine dental cleanings!
