Problems caused by a chipped or cracked tooth
The most common problem caused by a chipped or cracked tooth is tooth sensitivity. When you have a broken tooth, the nerve becomes exposed and can be irritated by hot or cold foods, drinks, chewing gum, or even air. The pain is usually sharp, but it may come and go, depending on what you are doing at the time.
Besides being painful, a cracked tooth can also lead to an infection if it is not treated correctly. Your dentist will need to remove any damaged parts of your fractured tooth so that it does not cause further problems later. They may also prescribe antibiotics to treat any possible infections.
If you continue to chew on food that causes pain, your dentist may need to fit a crown over the damaged part of your tooth for protection and strength.
Other common problems include:
Gum recession
Malocclusion (teeth shifting out of place)
Tooth decay
Tooth discoloration
How to fix a chipped tooth
Depending on its severity and location within the mouth, there are several ways to fix a cracked tooth:
Inlays and Onlays
These restorations place a protective layer over the damaged part of your tooth. They’re usually made of porcelain or composite resin that matches the rest of your teeth perfectly.
Bonding
For larger cracks on a chipped front tooth, our dentists recommend bonding the front surface of your smile back together with composite resin material.
Dental Implants
Depending on the size of the crack or chip on an affected tooth, it may need to be replaced with a dental implant.
Crowns
Crowns are one of the most common types of broken tooth repair. It is commonly used when you have a cracked molar or a chipped molar that makes it difficult for you to chew properly or causes discomfort when you eat hot or cold foods.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cracked and Chipped Teeth
