About the disease & condition

A tooth fracture or crack involves a partial or complete break in the structure of a tooth. Cracks can affect the enamel, dentin, or even the pulp, leading to pain, sensitivity, and risk of infection. Early diagnosis and treatment help preserve the tooth and restore normal function.

Known Symptoms

Pain while chewing or biting.
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks.
Visible cracks or lines on the tooth.
Occasional swelling or discomfort around the affected area.

Known Causes

Trauma or sports-related injuries.
Chewing hard foods or ice.
Large fillings that weaken the tooth structure.
Habits like nail-biting or teeth grinding.

Care

Dental examination and assessment.
X-rays or special dyes to detect cracks.
Protective measures, such as mouthguards during sports.
Repair using dental bonding, crowns, or root canal treatment if pulp is involved.
Avoiding hard foods and harmful oral habits.
