Broken Teeth

Broken Teeth

If the tooth is broken as a result of an accident then try to find the broken piece and get to us as soon as possible. Broken pieces can sometimes be reattached.
If your tooth has broken due to an accident remember you will be entitled to claim under ACC for any dental treatment you receive.

If the tooth is broken during normal chewing then it is most likely the result of decay or a crack in the tooth. Bring the piece along if possible but it is unlikely it will be reattached.
