According to People Magazine, she recently broke her teeth while filming a miniseries for NBC. From the article:"When we were doing the boat scene, we were supposed to be on the Turkish sea in a storm to end all storms," Sorvino, 41, told reporters at a Television Critics Association panel on Thursday. "A big wave came and washed my contacts out of my eyes, and a hook got caught, and it slams into my face and breaks five of my teeth. "
I definitely deal with broken teeth all of the time: it's more common than you might think in San Francisco. There are many ways it can play out depending on what is needed: extraction and implant placement, or re-implantation of the teeth, to simple repairs with bonding and veneers.
The most common reason I see with these cases is slip and fall accidents, but also a wide variety of sports incidents and motor vehicle accidents can get people into trouble too.
