What causes a tooth to crack?

  1. Tooth cracks can result from various causes such as:
  2. Biting on hard objects.
  3. Trauma or injury to the mouth.
  4. Grinding or clenching of the teeth.
  5. Large fillings or restorations that weaken the tooth’s structure.
  6. Natural wear and tear over time.

How do I know if I have a cracked tooth?

Signs of a cracked tooth may include:

  1. Pain while chewing or biting.
  2. Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
  3. Discomfort that comes and goes.
  4. Visible lines or fractures on the tooth.

However, not all cracks are visible or cause pain. Hence, regular dental check-ups are essential.

FAQs

What is the process for evaluating a cracked tooth at Serio Dental?

We employ a thorough approach:

  1. Detailed oral examination.
  2. Use of magnifying instruments to identify tiny cracks.
  3. Dental X-rays for a clearer view of the tooth’s internal structure.
  4. Discussion about symptoms and potential causes.

What treatment options are available for cracked teeth?

Treatment depends on the size, location, and type of crack:

  1. Bonding: A composite resin is used to repair the crack.
  2. Crown: A protective cap is placed over the affected tooth.
  3. Root Canal: Required if the crack extends to the pulp.
  4. Extraction: If the tooth is severely cracked and cannot be saved.

Is treatment always necessary for a cracked tooth?

Not all cracks require treatment. Some superficial cracks are merely cosmetic. However, deeper or more significant cracks can lead to further complications if untreated.
