21 Aug Cracked Tooth
There is a variety of symptoms associated with a cracked tooth.
Any tooth can become cracked, but the most commonly affected are molars or premolars, particularly those with large fillings that have experienced trauma or damage, as well as in patients who exert heavy chewing forces or grind their teeth.
Common patient symptoms include:
- Sharp pain, especially while biting.
- Pain or sensitivity when the tooth is exposed to hot or cold foods or drinks.
- Sensitivity to sweet substances.
- Sometimes difficulty in pinpointing which specific tooth is causing the pain.
- Often, there is a previous history of a cracked tooth.
Can a cracked tooth be saved?
In most cases, yes. However, EARLY TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT.
Treatment options vary, ranging from simple fillings to potential referrals to specialists or even extraction.
