Can my broken teeth be treated urgently?
Patient: I have shingles and testerday I broke my tooth. The tooth is very sharp and is cutting into my tongue and I cant eat anything as my tongue is very sore with rubbing on my tooth. Will the Dentidt be able to treat me if I ring in tomorrow for an urgent appointment Doctor: thanks for your query, you can get the sharp tooth rounded off but inform the dentist about your shingles...so that he can take special precautions..you can use topical anesthetic and analgesic for soreness of the tongue.. i hope my answer will help you..take care..
