I'm glad you shared this article because I am sure there are some people who don't know that it is even possible to break a tooth without any pain. When I was little, I broke a tooth during a meal (eating steak, strangely). There was a jolt and a crunch from the physical break, but I had to go to a mirror to discover that a third split off of one of my molars. Luckily it was not a permanent tooth, so the rest of it came out a while later. Daelin

My son plays hockey and he took a stick to the mouth at practice today. Of course it was the one day that he wasn't wearing his mouth guard and the result was two broken teeth. He doesn't have any pain so I have been wondering how soon I need to take him to the dentist. I am glad that I came across this article, I will have to look into emergency dentistry and see if we can get them fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for the tips!
