A cracked tooth may cause pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort that comes and goes. Some cracks have few noticeable symptoms, so a dental examination is needed to determine the condition of the tooth.
Call Dental Faith to describe your symptoms and ask about the next available appointment. Dr. Fedler can examine the tooth and explain which treatment options may be appropriate.
Treatment depends on the location and extent of the crack, the condition of the dental pulp, and how much healthy tooth structure remains. Dr. Fedler will examine the tooth before recommending treatment.
Dental bonding may be considered for minor damage affecting the visible surface of a tooth. Tooth-colored resin is applied and shaped to repair the damaged area. Bonding is not appropriate for every cracked tooth.
A dental crown may be recommended when a cracked tooth needs more coverage than a filling or bonding can provide. The crown covers the visible portion of the tooth and may help protect the remaining structure.
A filling may be appropriate when the damaged area is small and enough healthy tooth structure remains. Larger or deeper cracks may require another form of treatment.
Root canal treatment may be recommended when a crack affects the dental pulp inside the tooth. Dental Faith can evaluate the tooth and coordinate care with a root canal provider when needed.
A tooth may need to be removed if the crack extends too far below the gumline, the tooth has split, or too little healthy structure remains for repair. Dr. Fedler will examine the tooth before recommending extraction and can discuss replacement options when appropriate.

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and avoid chewing on the affected tooth. If swelling is present, place a cold compress against the outside of your face. Call Dental Faith to describe your symptoms and ask about appointment availability.
The cost depends on the extent of the crack and the treatment needed. Possible treatments include bonding, a filling, a crown, root canal care, or extraction. Dental Faith can provide an estimate after examining the tooth.

No. Tooth enamel does not repair itself after it cracks. Some cracks require monitoring, while others require dental treatment.
Not always. Small cracks may only need bonding or a filling. A crown is typically needed when the crack is large, the tooth is at risk of splitting, or after a root canal. We only recommend what the tooth actually needs.
The dentist will examine the tooth and may evaluate your bite, gums, and nearby teeth. Digital X-rays may be taken when needed. Treatment depends on the type and extent of the damage.
