CRACKED TOOTH SYNDROME
- Pain on chewing
- Hot and cold sensitivity
- Pain when eating sweets/sugar
- No evidence of problem on X-ray
- No dental decay present
Teeth may crack when subjected to stress of chewing hard foods or ice, or by biting on unexpected hard objects. Teeth restored with typical silver fillings are most susceptible. The majority of cracked teeth can be treated by placement of a crown on the tooth. When the crown is placed on the tooth, the pain usually leaves immediately. Occasionally the tooth cracks into the nerve of the tooth. If pain persists after placement of the crown, you may have a crack into the nerve of that tooth. Please call us, as this tooth may require a root canal.
