Cracked Tooth Treatment
What is a Cracked Tooth?
A cracked tooth occurs when a fracture develops in the tooth enamel, which may extend into the dentin or pulp. Cracks can be caused by trauma, teeth grinding, or biting hard foods.
- Craze Lines – Tiny, superficial cracks in the enamel, usually painless.
- Fractured Cusp – A crack around a filling that may require a crown.
- Cracked Tooth Syndrome – A crack extending into the dentin or pulp, often causing sensitivity and pain.
- Split Tooth – A severe crack that has separated parts of the tooth, often requiring extraction.
- Vertical Root Fracture – A crack extending into the root, often leading to infection.

Can a Cracked Tooth Be Fixed?
Yes! Depending on the severity of the crack, our expert dentists at Bigger Smiles will recommend the best treatment:
- Dental Bonding – For minor cracks, a composite resin can be applied to restore the tooth.
- Dental Crowns – A crown covers and protects the tooth, preventing the crack from worsening.
- Root Canal Therapy – If the crack has reached the pulp, a root canal may be needed to save the tooth.
- Tooth Extraction & Implants – In severe cases, an extraction followed by a dental implant may be required.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to leave a cracked tooth untreated?
No. Leaving a cracked tooth untreated can lead to infection, pain, and eventual tooth loss.
How do I know if my tooth is cracked?
Look for pain when biting, sensitivity, and occasional discomfort that comes and goes.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Teeth cannot regenerate enamel, so professional treatment is required.
Will I need a crown for a cracked tooth?
If the crack is moderate or severe, a dental crown is often the best solution to protect the tooth.
Can a cracked tooth cause an infection?
Yes. If bacteria enter through the crack, an infection can form, leading to a painful abscess.
Is a root canal necessary for a cracked tooth?
If the crack extends to the pulp (inner nerve), a root canal is needed to save the tooth.
Can stress or grinding cause cracked teeth?
Yes! Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a leading cause of cracked teeth. We offer custom night guards to prevent further damage.
Can I eat with a cracked tooth?
Avoid hard, crunchy, and sticky foods until the tooth is treated.
