Life happens. Maybe you bit into something too hard, took a fall, or woke up with a chipped tooth after grinding in your sleep. A broken or damaged tooth might not seem like an emergency—especially if it’s not hurting—but waiting too long to fix it can lead to bigger problems.
At West Wind Dental in Calgary (58th Ave SE), we see it all the time. Patients come in with a small chip, crack, or damage that could have been an easy fix… but because they waited, it turned into a much more complicated (and expensive) problem.
If you have a damaged tooth, don’t ignore it. Here’s why taking action sooner rather than later is always the best choice.
Waiting Too Long Can Make Things Worse
You might think, “It’s just a little crack. I’ll deal with it later.” But here’s the reality: even minor damage can lead to serious dental issues if left untreated.
- A small crack can deepen – What starts as a surface-level crack can grow over time, weakening the tooth until it completely fractures.
- Chips can expose sensitive layers – If the enamel is compromised, bacteria can enter and cause decay or infection.
- Pain can start unexpectedly – A tooth that doesn’t hurt today can become excruciating overnight if the damage reaches the nerve.
- Bite misalignment – A damaged tooth can shift the way your teeth come together, leading to jaw pain, headaches, or even TMJ issues.
The longer you wait, the more complicated (and costly) the fix becomes.
The Cost of Waiting: Why Delaying Treatment Can Get Expensive
Many people put off dental care because they’re worried about the cost. But here’s something to consider: waiting actually makes treatment more expensive in the long run.
- Small crack today → Crown or filling (affordable, quick fix)
- Larger crack later → Root canal + crown (more costly, more visits)
- Tooth breaks completely → Extraction + implant (much higher cost, longer recovery)
A quick fix today can save you hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars compared to the major procedures required if the damage worsens.
The smartest investment? Fixing a broken tooth as soon as possible.
