Cracked Or Fractured Teeth

A cracked or fractured tooth can be caused by mouth trauma or biting down on something very hard. It can also occur due to tooth grinding, root canals, aging or larger fillings. Many tooth fractures have no symptoms, but pain or sensitivity around the cracked tooth may occur, particularly while chewing or drinking hot or cold beverages. Treatments include bonding or filling the crack, cosmetic contouring to smooth out the crack, and putting a veneer or crown on the tooth. If the damage extends into the tooth’s root or pulp, a root canal or extraction may be necessary. In some cases, such as a painfree hairline crack, monitoring the tooth may be a better choice than treating it. Whether it involves repairing a traumatized tooth, cosmetic work, wisdom teeth, implants or simple fillings, any program we suggest for your dental health will be thoroughly discussed with you before we begin. When you are looking for state-of-theart, personalized dentistry from people who really care, welcome to our office. Our dental team works smoothly and efficiently together, devoted to making your dental experience comfortable as well as enhancing. P.S. The treatment for a fractured tooth depends on the severity of the crack and which layers of the tooth are affected (enamel, dentin, and pulp).
