Sensitive toothpaste can help reduce discomfort from cold, hot, sweet, or acidic foods, especially if the sensitivity is mild. However, tooth sensitivity can also be a sign of a cavity, cracked tooth, worn enamel, gum recession, or another dental problem. If your sensitivity is severe, lasts more than a few days, is getting worse, or is accompanied by pain when biting, it's best to schedule a dental exam. Your dentist here at Harte Dental can identify the cause and recommend the most effective treatment.

If you crack or break a tooth, Harte Dental in Milton, MA offers emergency dental care to evaluate the damage, relieve discomfort, and determine the best way to restore your tooth. During your emergency visit, one of our dentists will examine the tooth and may take a dental X-ray to see how deep the crack or damage extends.
Treatment depends on the severity of the damage. A minor chip may be repaired with cosmetic bonding or a filling, while a larger fracture may require a dental crown to protect the tooth. If the crack reaches the nerve inside the tooth, root canal treatment may be necessary. In some cases, a severely cracked tooth may need to be removed.
If you've cracked or broken a tooth, contact Harte Dental at 617-696-5257 as soon as possible. We make every effort to accommodate dental emergencies promptly for patients in Milton and the South Shore of Massachusetts.
