Cracked Teeth Treatment in Lynnwood

What can cause the tooth to Crack or Chip?

​

Despite your best oral care, many things can cause teeth to crack including:

• Severe tooth grinding

• Large tooth fillings

• Biting something hard

• An injury to the chin or lower jaw

• Bone loss

Types of Cracked Teeth:

• Cracked tooth: When a crack runs from the biting surface of your tooth towards the root, the tooth may not split into two parts, but the soft, inner tissue of the damaged tooth give you severe pain.​

• Cracked cusp: When the cusp, the pointed part of the biting surface of the tooth, become damaged, your tooth may break, and you will usually get a sharp pain in that tooth when you bite.

• Split tooth: When an untreated cracked tooth is left untreated, your tooth splits into two parts. Split tooth fractures start in the root and go up towards the biting surface.

Is your tooth cracked or chipped!! Don’t delay in fixing your broken teeth. Contact your dentist as soon as you can to get a more effective treatment. Your untreated cracked can lead to nerve damage and abscess formation, resulting in the need for root canal treatment. In the worst-case scenario, a delay may result in tooth split in two, and your dentist may not be able to save the tooth. So don’t delay in making an appointment.
