Chipped Tooth or Cracked Tooth

If you feel pain to hot and cold temperatures or chewing hard foods, you may have cracked tooth syndrome. Cracked teeth don’t heal themselves. A cracked tooth is like a crack in a windshield, once they start, they just grow longer. Tooth cracks go deeper and become painful as they approach the nerve at the tooth core. Teeth under pressure with fillings are the most vulnerable to cracking. Teeth grinding and crooked teeth contribute to teeth cracking. Cracked teeth that have constant sensitivity to chewing are fixed with tooth crowns. Tooth crowns prevent further splitting and get rid of pain by holding the tooth together and providing insulation from extreme temperatures.
