Fixing Fractured Teeth

Saving A Little Boys Smile

Fractured teeth are a more common issue than you might think and thanks to modern dentistry they are now more easily resolved than ever before.

This 8 year old boy attended the practice after falling at school and snapping his 2 front teeth. As you can see from the photos, one had a small fracture and the other had a much larger fracture that was showing the nerve of the tooth. In times gone by, this may well have resulted in the need for immediate root canal treatment. However with modern techniques, in particular the use of lasers, we were able to preserve the vitality of the tooth. Furthermore his mum was able to find the broken tooth part, enabling us to bond this fragment back onto the tooth using the latest procedure.

Thanks to the highly skilled team at Ashton Dental Practice and modern dentistry techniques we were able to give this little boy his smile back! Once more, it was all done under local anaesthetic using the ‘wand’.
