Teeth crack due to a variety of issues – pressure from teeth grinding or clenching, large fillings which can weaken and compromise tooth structure, biting or chewing hard foods such as ice, nuts or hard candy, accidents, and can also occur naturally with age.
Some but not all symptoms include – pain when chewing or biting, especially when you release, sensitivity to heat, cold, or sweetness, pain that comes and goes, and swelling of the gum surrounding the cracked tooth.
Treatment depends on severity and symptoms. Prompt treatment offers the best chance of saving the tooth. Treatment options include composite filling, bonding, crown, possible root canal (if the crack extents into the pulp). Tooth extraction is the worst case scenario.
We want to make sure patients get the optimal care they need and deserve without financial stress. Therefore, we have partnered with CareCredit to offer 0% or low interest financing options for dental treatment offered at Metro Smiles to offer you flexible financing plans.
Appointments are made to address your individual oral health care needs. Lapses in care can negatively affect your dental health. Recommended timelines for dental cleanings to restorative treatments are customized to maintain a healthy mouth. If a condition worsens, options will become limited, and treatment costs will increase.
