What to Do With a Cracked Tooth

If you crack a tooth, the best plan is to see a dentist as soon as possible:

– The most common causes of a cracked tooth are facial injury, teeth grinding or biting food too hard.

– Sometimes a small crack will appear without you realising it; signs of cracked tooth include sudden pain when chewing and sensitivity.

– Most cracked teeth can be treated by your dentist, however severe cases may need a root canal filling or an extraction.

“Leaving a cracked tooth untreated may lead to more problems, pain, and discomfort over time.”
