HAVE A Cracked tOOth?
|
Whether your tooth cracks from an injury or general wear and tear, you can experience a variety of symptoms ranging from erratic pain when you chew your food to sudden pain when your tooth is exposed to very hot or cold temperatures. In many cases, the pain may come and go and your dentist may have difficulty locating the tooth causing the discomfort. If you have a cracked tooth, you may experience pain while chewing. That’s because chewing can cause the pieces of a cracked tooth to move, which irritates the pulp. When biting pressure is released, the crack in the tooth can close quickly, causing sharp pain. Endodontist specialize in saving cracked teeth and will cater treatment to the type, location, and extent of the crack. The sooner your tooth is treated, the better the outcome.
