Cracked teeth can present a variety of symptoms, such as pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, or discomfort when releasing biting pressure. What makes cracked teeth particularly challenging is that the pain may come and go, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort. Left untreated, cracks can worsen over time, potentially leading to more serious complications, including infection or tooth loss.

Diagnosing a cracked tooth often requires a thorough examination and advanced imaging to locate the fracture and determine its severity. Treatment depends on the extent and location of the crack, but early intervention is key to saving the tooth. In many cases, root canal therapy can relieve pain and protect the tooth structure, allowing you to maintain both function and aesthetics. At our office, we use state-of-the-art tools and a gentle, attentive approach to ensure you receive the most accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
