Unfortunately, my face broke my fall. I wound up with a black eye and a serious chunk of one of my front teeth missing. I went to the emergency dentist to have it checked out. He took x-rays and told me the tooth looked like it was ok structurally. Then, he patched it up and told me to follow up with my regular dental office to have it permanently fixed and checked on again later. I don\u2019t want to waste time and money on another appointment if it isn\u2019t necessary and it looks like he used the same stuff that\u2019s usually used in fillings. Do I really need to go back or can I just let this one be? The patch job by the emergency dentist looks just fine to me.\u00a0 &#8212; Don<\/p>\n<p>Dear Don,<br \/>\nGlad to hear you\u2019re mostly ok after the fall. As for the tooth, the emergency dentist probably did use the same composite material that\u2019s normally used in fillings. If that\u2019s the case, it could last years, perhaps even decades.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, there\u2019s probably more to this than simple bonding. First of all, the tooth was traumatized. Sometimes when a tooth is injured by blunt force, it doesn\u2019t give off any symptoms right away. However, the blood flow to the tooth could have been cut off and that wouldn\u2019t show up on x-rays. If this is the case, the tooth could be dead or dying, and it will eventually need a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-root-canal-treatment.html\">root canal<\/a>. Unfortunately, the first sign this has happened is often pain or an abscess, though sometimes the person notices discoloration as well. Anytime you see an <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-emergency-dentist.html\">emergency dentist<\/a>, he\u2019ll refer you back to your regular office for a follow-up. In cases with trauma, having the dentist check out the tooth again later could save you a lot of pain and trouble.<\/p>\n<p>As for your comment about having the tooth permanently fixed, could he have mentioned to you that the tooth needed a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-crowns.html\">crown<\/a>? If the chip was severe, the <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tooth-bonding.html\">bonding<\/a> won\u2019t be adequate and the tooth will need all-around protection. Your best bet is to follow the advice of the emergency dentist and schedule a visit with your regular office to get it checked out. If you\u2019re still wary, you can always call the office that did the work and clarify why he wanted you to follow up.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">New Orleans cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.
