Cracked Or Fractured Teeth

A cracked or fractured tooth can be caused by mouth trauma or biting down on something very hard. It can also occur due to tooth grinding, root canals, aging or larger fillings. Many tooth fractures have no symptoms, but pain or sensitivity around the cracked tooth may occur, particularly while chewing or drinking hot or cold beverages. Treatments include bonding or filling the crack, cosmetic contouring to smooth out the crack, and putting a veneer or crown on the tooth. If the damage extends into the tooth’s root or pulp, a root canal or extraction may be necessary. In some cases, such as a pain-free hairline crack, monitoring the tooth may be a better choice than treating it.

Whether it involves repairing a traumatized tooth, cosmetic work, wisdom teeth, implants or simple fillings, any program we suggest for your dental health will be thoroughly discussed with you before we begin. When you are looking for state-ofthe-art, personalized dentistry from people who really care, welcome to BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL. Our dental team works smoothly and efficiently together, devoted to making your dental experience comfortable as well as enhancing. Call us at 585.343.4246 for an appointment at 6 Batavia City Centre www.bataviafamilydental.com

P.S. The treatment for a fractured tooth depends on the severity of the crack and which layers of the tooth are affected (enamel, dentin, and pulp).

Recognize And Avoid Youth Sports Injuries

Children benefit in various ways from their involvement in youth sports. Being part of a team fosters feelings of belonging, inspires collaborative play and strategy and can be an excellent form of exercise. Still, despite the benefits, parents often worry about the injury risk their children face on the playing fields.

Those fears are justified. A Safe Kids Worldwide survey of emergency room visits found that a young athlete visits a hospital emergency room for a sports-related injury more than a million times a year, or about every 25 seconds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 2.6 million children 0 to 19 years old are treated in the emergency department each year for sports- and recreation-related injuries. Some of the more common injuries young children face have to do with the skeletal and muscular systems of the body. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons stresses that children’s bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are still growing, making them more susceptible to injury. Fortunately, with some education, many youth-sport injuries can be prevented.
