Understanding Cracked Teeth

Cracked teeth can happen from various causes, such as biting down on hard foods, trauma to the face, or wear and tear over time. Recognizing the symptoms early on is critical to effective treatment and preventing further complications. Common symptoms of cracked teeth include:

  • Pain when chewing or biting, especially when releasing pressure.
  • Sensitivity to temperature changes, such as hot or cold foods and drinks.
  • Intermittent pain that can make diagnosis challenging.
  • Swelling around the affected tooth or gum.

The pain from a cracked tooth often occurs when the fractured pieces shift, irritating the tooth’s pulp. If untreated, the pulp may become infected or irreparably damaged, potentially leading to abscesses, bone loss, or tooth extraction. At 900Endo, we specialize in promptly diagnosing and treating these issues to preserve oral health.

Understanding Cracked Teeth

Understanding the type of crack in your tooth is essential for determining the best treatment plan. Here are the most common types of cracked teeth we encounter:

Craze Lines

Craze lines are superficial cracks that affect only the outer enamel. While they may appear unsightly, they rarely cause pain or compromise the tooth’s structure. Treatment is typically unnecessary unless for cosmetic reasons

Fractured Cusp

This type of crack usually occurs around a tooth’s chewing surface. While the pulp is often unaffected, fractured cusps can weaken the tooth, making restoration with a dental crown necessary to prevent further damage.

Treatable Cracked Teeth

Cracks that extend from the chewing surface towards the root can cause significant discomfort and may involve the pulp. Timely intervention, such as root canal therapy and crown placement, can save the tooth and prevent infection or tooth loss.

 Split Tooth

A split tooth occurs when a crack progresses to the point of separating the tooth into distinct segments. While this severe condition often necessitates extraction, portions of the tooth may still be salvageable with immediate treatment.

Vertical Root Fracture

Vertical root fractures can go undetected, starting at the root and extending upwards until symptoms become severe. Depending on the extent of the damage, treatment options include endodontic surgery or extraction.

Treatment options for Cracked Tooth

At 900ENDO, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our advanced diagnostic tools, including 3D imaging and digital X-rays, ensure precise identification of the crack’s location and severity. Treatment options include:

  • Root Canal Therapy: Root canal therapy is essential for cracks that reach the pulp. It removes damaged tissue and prevents infection, helping to save the tooth and restore its functionality.
  • Dental Crowns : A dental crown may be placed after a root canal or to protect a fractured cusp. Crowns provide strength and durability, prevent further damage, and restore the tooth’s appearance.
  • Endodontic Surgery: Vertical root fractures and other severe conditions may require surgical intervention to remove damaged portions of the root and preserve as much of the tooth as possible.
  • Tooth Extraction: Extraction may be the best option in cases where the damage is too extensive to repair. Our team will discuss replacement solutions, such as dental implants, to restore your smile.

  • Avoiding hard foods like ice or unpopped popcorn kernels.
  • Wear a mouthguard during sports or if you grind your teeth.
  • Maintaining regular dental check-ups to catch potential issues early.
  • Practicing good oral hygiene to keep your teeth strong and healthy.
