There\u2019s no question. Having a crack in your tooth can hurt and can also affect how you chew and eat. But don\u2019t despair! There are treatments available that aren\u2019t as monumental as you may expect.\u00a0 Check out these causes, symptoms, and treatment options for cracked or chipped teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 id=\"causes\"><b>What causes a cracked or chipped tooth?<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to one <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistryiq.com\/dentistry\/article\/16367380\/cracked-teeth-a-more-serious-problem-in-2018-than-1964\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, cracked teeth contribute to an estimated <strong>33%<\/strong> of tooth loss in the general population. A number of factors that contribute to a chipped tooth. Understanding these can minimize your own risk.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Teeth grinding<\/strong> is a common cause. The grinding causes pressure on the teeth, which can cause one or more teeth to crack or chip.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a patient <strong>bites on hard candy, ice, or even nuts<\/strong>, it may create a risk of chipping a tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Aging<\/strong> seems to play a role too. Teeth tend to weaken with age, which is why chipped teeth are more common in elderly patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient suffers<strong> impact to the mouth<\/strong>, such as when they fall, there is a risk of a tooth chipping or cracking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large <strong>fillings<\/strong> that are placed in teeth creates a risk too; fillings can damage a tooth\u2019s integrity.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, <strong>sudden temperature change<\/strong> in the mouth can also lead to an increased risk.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3870147\/#:~:text=Averaging%2520the%2520results%2520of%2520the,about%25202%2525%2520are%2520other%2520teeth.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that mandibular molars are most likely to crack, with 48% of cracks reported in these teeth. The study reports that maxillary molars are next in line among most commonly cracked teeth, followed by maxillary premolars and mandibular premolars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"types\"><b>What are the types of cracked teeth?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cracked teeth are usually classified into different types. This helps a dentist determine what the most appropriate treatment options would be and whether the tooth rather needs extraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fractured cusp: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a patient has a filling in their tooth, they may experience a fractured cusp. The crack develops around the filling.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Craze lines:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A common type of crack that appears only in the enamel of a tooth. These cracks are exceptionally small in size. They usually run vertically across the whole tooth and can be hard to see unless close up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Split tooth:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The crack will start at the surface of a tooth and extend to the lower part, usually below the patient&#8217;s gumline.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cracked to the gum line:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A severe crack that can cause tooth loss. A vertical crack can be observed on the tooth. It may extend below the gum line.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vertical root fracture:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A type of crack that often requires extraction. The crack starts at the bottom of the tooth and then starts to extend upward. It is typically painful and sensitive, unlike craze lines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"symptoms\"><b>What are symptoms of cracked teeth?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible cracks in a tooth are an obvious potential symptom. You may be able to see a crack on the tooth, or you might find a piece of your tooth has chipped off. There are, however, other symptoms you should note.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4045\" class=\"elementor elementor-4045\"

A crown can be used to cap a broken tooth. It can also be useful when a tooth chips off at the gum line.

Your dentist can determine how serious the chip or crack is and then suggest appropriate treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the chip is not serious, polishing may be suggested. This will usually cost $100 to $200. In cases where there is a more serious chip, fillings may be needed. The cost of fillings will be more than $200 in the majority of cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Final thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cracked tooth can cause pain and discomfort, so when you have one, you should have it looked at.

You can search for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on business directories, then compare the professionals in the local area.
