Human: How do you temporarily fix a cracked tooth?

Assistant: Dental professionals caution that attempting to repair a cracked tooth without professional treatment can be very dangerous and can lead to serious dental health issues.  If you have a cracked tooth that is symptomatic or painful, you should consult with a dental professional as soon as possible.  For particular cases of minor cracking that may be a cosmetic issue, there are recommended temporary measures that can sometimes help to alleviate the appearance of the tooth.  Temporary measures would include the following: 

-   Stop using  the cracked tooth with hot and very hard objects. 
-   Place a non-medicated toothache gel over the crack. Do not place toothache gel in the crack, as it can be toxic and harmful. 
-   Brush the crack with a fluoride-enriched toothpaste every day, as this will strengthen and repair the tooth enamel.  
-   See a dentist for a professional diagnostic evaluation as soon as possible.


Human: How do you temporarily fix a cracked tooth?

Assistant: Cracked teeth are generally best repaired by your dentist with a dental filling.  This involves restoring the cracked area with resin or composite materials, which seal the cracks and prevent further damage.  In cases where this is not possible due to extensive damage, dental crowns or dental bridges may be required to provide structural support to the tooth.  In certain situations, dental implants may be required for the tooth to properly function.  However, where possible it is generally advisable to avoid temporizing measures, which may result in further damage or complications and should ideally be treated promptly by your dentist.  One potential temporary measure to aid tooth strength and prevent further damage is the use of a dental adhesive.  This is a clear, viscous resin which is applied directly onto the affected tooth surface and hardened with a special LED curing light.  Dental adhesives can provide effective short term reinforcement of the affected areas, but are not a permanent solution and are best used to facilitate prompt dental treatment.
