Cracked Tooth
A cracked tooth can worsen quickly without treatment
A cracked tooth is a dental emergency that requires immediate attention. Cracks can range from minor surface fractures to deep splits that threaten the tooth's survival. Early treatment with a dental crown can save your tooth and prevent further damage.
Why Act Now
A cracked tooth won't heal on its own. Without treatment, the crack can deepen, leading to infection, severe pain, or tooth loss. The sooner you get a crown, the better your chances of saving the tooth.
Common Symptoms
- Sharp pain when biting or chewing
- Pain that comes and goes
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Discomfort when releasing bite pressure
- Visible crack line on tooth
Common Causes
- Biting on hard objects (ice, hard candy)
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Large old fillings weakening tooth structure
- Trauma or injury to the mouth
- Sudden temperature changes in mouth
