Tooth Pain: Cracked Tooth


Cracked teeth can arise from various factors like teeth grinding, eating habits, or misaligned chewing teeth. Saving a cracked tooth hinges on considerations such as the type, location, and extent of the fracture. Treatment may entail a root canal and/or a crown. Timely intervention is vital, as the continued use of the cracked tooth can exacerbate the fracture, potentially reaching the root under the bone. Nonetheless, once treated, most cracked teeth can function pain-free for many years.

The treatment and outcome for a cracked tooth depend on the type, location, and extent of the crack, often necessitating Cone Beam CT (3D) imaging for evaluation. If you suspect a cracked tooth, scheduling a consultation to assess its restorability and explore treatment options is advisable.

Why does tooth fracture and what to do?

WHAT TO EXPECT

The primary objective of restorative dentistry is to repair or restore damaged teeth and replace missing teeth, ensuring you maintain a healthy smile. If you have damaged teeth that cause pain, fractures, infections, or hinder your ability to eat, seeking restorative treatment promptly is crucial for your oral health and overall well-being.
