Broken or Chipped Tooth in Kolkata — What to Do Now
If you break or chip a tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water, save any pieces, and use a cold pack for swelling. A knocked-out adult tooth is an emergency — keep it moist in milk and see a dentist within an hour. OroCare Dental Clinic repairs broken and chipped teeth with same-day care where possible at its Bhowanipur and Mukundapur centres in South Kolkata; call 98753 42440.
What to do right now
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
- Save any broken pieces or a knocked-out tooth in milk or saliva.
- For a knocked-out adult tooth, see a dentist within an hour — time matters.
- Cover a sharp edge with dental wax or sugar-free gum to protect your tongue.
- Use a cold pack on the cheek and take a painkiller if needed.
Common causes
- A fall, knock or sports injury
- Biting something hard (ice, a bone, a nut)
- A large old filling weakening the tooth
- Decay that has hollowed out the tooth
See a dentist straight away if…
- A tooth that is knocked out or pushed out of place
- A large break exposing the inner (pink or red) part of the tooth
- Bleeding that doesn't stop
- Sharp pain or a sharp edge cutting your tongue or cheek
How OroCare treats it
OroCare matches the repair to the damage — tooth-coloured bonding or a filling for a small chip, a crown for a larger break, and root canal treatment if the nerve is exposed. A knocked-out tooth is treated urgently, and missing teeth can later be replaced with an implant by Dr. Shounak Ghosh.
