Question 1

What are the different types of tooth fractures?

Accepted Answer

Tooth fractures can range from minor craze lines (cracks in the enamel) to more severe issues like a fractured cusp, a crack that extends below the gum line, a split tooth, or a vertical root fracture.

Question 2

What are the symptoms of a cracked tooth?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms can vary but often include erratic pain when chewing, especially when you release the bite, and sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. Sometimes, the crack is not visible.

Question 3

How is a fractured tooth treated?

Accepted Answer

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture. Minor cracks may be treated with dental bonding. More significant fractures often require a dental crown to hold the tooth together. If the pulp is damaged, a root canal will be needed first.

Question 4

Can a cracked tooth be saved?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. Early diagnosis is key. However, if the crack extends below the gum line or splits the tooth into two separate pieces, extraction is usually the only option.
