What Is a Cracked Tooth?

A cracked tooth occurs when a fracture extends into the layers beneath the enamel. These cracks can be difficult to detect and are often missed by general dentists. Our endodontist uses advanced tools to catch even hairline fractures that could lead to tooth loss if untreated.

Common Symptoms of a Cracked Tooth

  • Pain when biting or releasing
  • Sudden, sharp discomfort when chewing
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Intermittent toothache
  • Swelling of the gum around the tooth
Tip: Cracked teeth worsen over time. Early treatment increases your chance of saving the tooth.

How We Treat Cracked Teeth

  • ✅ Root Canal Therapy – removes infection from a cracked pulp
  • ✅ Microscope Diagnosis – detect fractures invisible to x-rays
  • ✅ Crown Placement – protects and reinforces the tooth
  • ✅ Apicoectomy – microsurgical root repair when needed
  • ✅ Tooth Extraction – only if the crack extends beyond the gum line

What happens if I don’t treat it?
The crack can spread, leading to infection or the need for extraction.
