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.
