Are You Dealing With a Cracked Tooth?
Most cracks are too fine to see, but your mouth tends to give them away. Notice whether you feel a sharp jab as you let go of a bite, a zing when cold air or a cold drink hits one spot, a vague ache you can’t pin to a single tooth, or a rough ridge your tongue keeps returning to. A crack left alone keeps working its way deeper, and the deeper it goes, the more involved the repair becomes.
We can confirm what’s happening with a same-day exam. Reserve your $89 evaluation at our Braeswood office to find out.
How Teeth End Up Cracked
Cracks form in many ways. These are the ones we see most:
- Chomping down on ice, hard candy, or an unpopped kernel
- Years of nighttime grinding or daytime clenching
- A big old filling that has weakened the tooth around it
- A hit to the face from a fall, collision, or sports injury
- Rapid swings between hot and cold, like coffee followed by ice water
- Decay that has hollowed out the tooth from the inside
- Plain wear and tear over time
- A past break that was never fully repaired
