A cracked tooth can cause discomfort, sensitivity and lead to more serious dental issues if left untreated. Whether caused by trauma, biting into something hard or gradual wear over time, cracked teeth require prompt and professional attention. Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers experienced care to diagnose and treat cracked teeth with precision and compassion.
Recognizing the Signs of a Cracked Tooth
Cracked teeth are not always visible, and symptoms may come and go. You may notice pain when biting or sensitivity to hot and cold. Cracks can vary in severity, from minor surface lines to deeper fractures that affect the structure of the tooth. Early detection is key to preventing further damage and preserving your natural tooth.
Common symptoms of a cracked tooth include:
- Sharp pain when chewing or releasing bite pressure
- Sensitivity to temperature changes
- Swelling around the affected tooth
- Intermittent discomfort with no obvious cause
Our dentist and team use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the extent of the crack and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
