Understanding Cracked Tooth Treatment
Cracked teeth can vary in severity from minor chips to deep fractures extending into the root. Treatment depends on the type, location and extent of the crack.
Options for Treating a Cracked Tooth
- Dental Bonding: For minor cracks, dental bonding can be used to fill the crack and restore the tooth’s appearance.
- Dental Crowns: A crown can cover and protect a tooth that has been weakened by a significant crack, restoring its function and preventing further damage.
- Root Canal Therapy: If the crack has extended into the pulp, root canal therapy may be necessary to remove the damaged tissue and save the tooth.
- Tooth Extraction: In cases where the tooth is severely cracked and cannot be saved, extraction may be the recommended treatment.
Benefits of Timely Treatment
- Pain Relief: Proper treatment alleviates pain and sensitivity often associated with a cracked tooth.
- Prevention of Further Damage: Addressing cracks early can prevent them from worsening, which might lead to more extensive and costly treatments.
- Restored Function and Aesthetics: Treatments such as bonding or crowns restore the function and appearance of the cracked tooth, maintaining your smile’s integrity.
