Cracked Tooth
Teeth crack because of a diversity of reasons, including teeth grinding, chewing or biting hard foods, such as ice, nuts, or dried squid. Once it happens, it only gets deeper and it may lead to extraction so it needs to be examined and treated properly.
Symptoms
-
Pain when chewing or biting, especially when you release the bite.
-
Sensitivity to heat, cold, or sweetness.
-
Pain that comes and goes but is hardly continuous.
-
Swelling of the gum around the affected tooth.
Minor Crack
Tooth trimming and crowning will prevent extraction or root canal treatment.

Major Crack
When a crack or fracture extends into the pulp chamber, but the tooth's structure remains salvageable, root canal treatment combined with crowning becomes an essential solution. This comprehensive procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp tissue from the tooth's interior, disinfecting the root canal system, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Following root canal therapy, a crown is placed over the treated tooth to reinforce its structure and restore its functionality. This dual approach not only addresses the underlying issue within the tooth but also ensures its long-term durability and strength, allowing for seamless integration into the patient's bite and overall dental health.
