Frequently Asked Questions

Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?

No, cracked teeth don't heal. Treatment depends on the crack's severity — from bonding to crowns to extraction.

How do I know if my tooth is cracked?

Sharp pain when biting or releasing, temperature sensitivity, and pain that comes and goes are common signs.

Is a cracked tooth an emergency?

If there's severe pain, swelling, or the crack exposes the pulp, seek care promptly. Minor cracks can wait a few days.
