Miami, FL's Preferred Cracked Tooth Services

A cracked tooth is when a patient fractures a tooth into more than one piece, thereby making it no longer a full tooth.

There are many different reasons why you could crack a tooth. These include:

Chewing on something hard or sticky. This can include nuts and hard candy.

Grinding your teeth. Though most people grind their teeth while they are sleeping, others do so during the day when they are stressed.

Fillings have weakened your tooth. If you have large fillings, your tooth may not be as strong as it was previously.

Changes with age. Cracked teeth are more common in people over fifty years old because their teeth are not as strong as they used to be.

How Can You Prevent It From Happening?

Here are some ways that you can prevent cracked teeth:

Take care of your teeth. Healthy teeth are less likely to break so make sure that you brush and floss regularly. Regular trips to the dentist can also help to take care of problems before they become big enough to break your tooth.

Use caution when chewing hard foods. You may want to avoid these foods as often as possible.

Wear a mouthguard. If you play sports, you are going to want to wear a mouthguard to protect yourself. If you grind your teeth, sleeping with a guard will help to protect your teeth against each other.

What Should You Do for a Cracked Tooth?

The first thing that you need to do when you crack a tooth is to see a dentist. He or she will do a thorough examination along with X-rays to determine what should be done.

Here are some common procedures that may need to be done:

Nothing. If you just have a hairline fracture in your tooth and it isn't bothering you, we may not need to do anything.

Bonding. Your dentist will fill in the crack using a plastic resin so that it looks like nothing ever happened.

Crown. If you have significant damage to your tooth, you may require a crown. This is a fake tooth that will fit right over your damaged one.

Root canal. If your cracked tooth is painful, you may require a root canal to take care of the pain. Once you have a root canal done, you will probably need a crown placed over your damaged tooth.

Extraction. Sometimes, the only option is to remove the tooth to get rid of the pain that it is causing you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the signs that I might have a cracked tooth?

    Common signs of a cracked tooth include pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, and discomfort that comes and goes. Visible cracks or chips in the tooth, as well as swelling around the affected area, can also be indicators.

  • How do dentists diagnose a cracked tooth?

    Dentists usually diagnose a cracked tooth through a combination of dental examination, asking about symptoms, and possibly using X-rays. They may also use a dental dye to make cracks more visible or probe the teeth to check for sensitive areas.

  • What are the treatment options for a cracked tooth?

    Treatment options depend on the severity of the crack. Minor cracks may only require a dental filling or bonding. More significant cracks might need a crown to protect the tooth. In severe cases, where the crack extends into the pulp, root canal therapy or even tooth extraction may be necessary.

  • Can a cracked tooth lead to other dental problems?

    Yes, a cracked tooth can lead to other dental issues if not treated promptly. Bacteria can enter through the crack, leading to infection, which can spread to the bone and gums. It can also cause tooth sensitivity and, in severe cases, tooth loss.

  • Is a cracked tooth always an emergency?

    A cracked tooth is not always a dental emergency, but it should be evaluated by a dentist as soon as possible. If the crack is causing severe pain, has resulted in a large piece of the tooth breaking off, or if there's significant swelling, it should be treated as an emergency.
