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
Health conditions and certain medications that weaken teeth
Decaying teeth
does poor dental care contribute to chipped teeth?
While many instances of tooth damage are a result of a blow to the face or some other isolated incident, poor oral care can actually make your teeth more vulnerable to cracking or breaking. Poor oral hygiene, like irregular brushing and flossing, allows plaque and bacteria to build up on the teeth. This leads to weakened enamel, cavities, and tooth decay, which make your teeth more susceptible to breaking.
To help prevent a broken tooth, be sure to keep up on your routine dental cleanings!
