Broken Tooth After Rhinoplasty

Hi Kk,

It is okay to have your tooth taken care of by your dentist.  Be sure to let them know about your recent rhinoplasty (just in case they have not already given you compliments about your new nose).  We can do rhinoplasty without touching your molars, your dentist should be able to repair your molar without touching your nose.  Good luck and be well.

I suspect it should be fine to have your dentist fix your tooth. You may want to tell you dentist that you had surgery recently just to be safe.

You or your dentist should consult with the operative surgeon before addressing the "broken" tooth. What was the cause? 

Please consult with both your surgeon and dentist as to the best plan of action.  Please make sure you tell your dentist about your recent surgery so than any precautions may be taken.

Just tell the dentist and the assisstant not to rest their hands near your nose or brush/bump the nose in any way.  Also try not to hold your breath during the injections or work that could increase the blood pressure to your nose...as always you should get specific recommendations from your Rhinoplasty Surgeon.
