What Sort Of Things Can Cause Teeth To Crack?

There are a number of ways you can crack a tooth: • Grinding your teeth • Biting into hard things • Injury or accident • Weakening of the tooth through gum disease • Teeth with large fillings • Clenching your jaw • Extreme hot and cold temperature changes in the mouth.

How will my cracked tooth be fixed? How your cracked tooth can be fixed depends on the severity and location of the crack. Different treatments include: • Polishing For a minor enamel crack your tooth may simply be polished to remove the crack. • Veneers Veneers are hard covers which are adhered to your tooth’s surface and protect the tooth. • Bonding Bonding involves filling the crack with hard resin. This may only be suitable for front teeth as molars are under a lot more stress. • Dental Implants In the most severe cases your cracked tooth may have to be removed and replaced with a dental implant. • Crowns Crowns can be used for deeper cracks, but ones which don’t reach the soft centre of the tooth. • Root Canal If you’re unlucky enough to have the crack reach all the way to the centre of your tooth you may need root canal treatment.

How do I avoid cracking my teeth? You can minimise your risk by: • Avoid biting into hard things (not just food but things like pens and fingernails that you might absent-mindedly chew on) • Only use your teeth for chewing, don’t try to open things with your teeth (if you see a child or someone you know open a bottle with their mouth, please tell them NOT to!) • Consider wearing a custom-made mouth guard when playing sport. (If you don’t have one of these, we can help!) • If you think you might grind or clench your teeth at night you should talk to us about a night-guard What do I do if I have a cracked tooth? If you leave a cracked tooth untreated it can cause extreme pain, sensitivity and infection. Worse case scenario it can also lead to the loss of the tooth – and you don’t want that to happen. ??Early intervention is ABSOLUTE key.
