Accidents can happen at any time, and if it happens in your mouth, it can cause cracked teeth. Biting on frozen food, getting an elbow in the mouth at a basketball game, or falling on the sidewalk can put your front teeth and canines at risk. If your front tooth is cracked, it is very important to visit the dentist. Some cracks do not require treatment because they are superficial. Others may even require replacing the tooth if it happens below the gum. Crack in tooth may not necessarily cause any symptoms. People often don't even realize it. In addition, some cracks are harmless and do not require treatment.
However, if a person notice cracked tooth symptoms such as swelling of the gum around a broken tooth, tooth suddenly becoming sensitive to sweets, tooth suddenly becoming hypersensitive to hot or cold foods, pain tending to come and go, discomfort around a single gum, it is likely to have a large crack that requires treatment. The dentist can follow many crack tooth treatments to replace the cracked tooth. For example, bounding contains a substance called composite resin, which resembles the natural color of the tooth, to fill the crack. Compared to other methods used treating cracked teeth, this requires the fewest dentist visits. Even if your dentist can bond your tooth in a single visit, this material is not as strong as others. Some cracks can affect not only the outside of the tooth, but also the inside. If the crack is deep enough to reach the pulp of the tooth, root canal treatment may be needed to heal the inflamed pulp and save the tooth.
When root canal treatment is applied to a cracked tooth, the dentist will eventually cover the treated tooth with a crown. Thus, cracked teeth repair takes place. If the crack is deep or long but does not go below the gingiva, a crown may be preferred instead of bounding. Crowns are usually made of porcelain and are used to veneer the damaged tooth, thereby maintaining or improving the tooth's own shape. According to the American Association of Endodontists, when a crack reaches the bottom of the gum, it becomes incurable. This may require the dentist to extract the tooth, but this does not mean that you will have a gap in your mouth. Your dentist can replace the extracted tooth by placing a dental implant in your jawbone. This implant is then covered with a crown and it is tried to resemble the original state of your tooth as much as possible.
In conclusion, the best treatment depends on the location of the crack and the extent of the damage. If the crack is small and does not cause discomfort, treatment may not be needed.
