Cracked Teeth
Restorative options such as bonding, crowns, and root canals help repair cracks and protect tooth strength.
What to know
Cracked teeth can come from grinding, biting hard objects, trauma, or weakened tooth structure. Symptoms may include sensitivity, discomfort, or pain when chewing.
Treatment depends on the depth and location of the crack. Minor cracks may be repaired with bonding, while larger fractures may need a crown or root canal therapy.
Prompt evaluation helps protect the tooth, reduce the risk of infection, and choose the least invasive treatment that can restore comfort and function.
Potential Causes Of Cracked Teeth:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Biting hard objects or foods
- Trauma or accidents
- Chewing on ice or non-food items
- Uneven chewing pressure
- Large, old fillings weakening tooth structure
- Age-related wear and tear
- Weakened enamel from acidic foods or beverages
Your smile deserves a coordinated team.
