 Fractured Tooth: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

A fractured tooth can be painful and lead to complications if left untreated. Common causes include biting hard objects, trauma, teeth grinding, large fillings, and age-related wear.




Symptoms:

  • Pain while chewing

  • Sensitivity to hot and cold

  • Swelling or gum irritation

  • Intermittent pain

  • Visible cracks

Treatment Options:

  1. Dental Bonding: Fixes minor cracks.

  2. Dental Crown: Strengthens and protects larger fractures.

  3. Root Canal: Removes damaged pulp if needed.

  4. Extraction: Severe cases may require removal and replacement.

  5. Veneers: Enhances minor front tooth fractures.

Prevention:

  • Avoid chewing hard objects.

  • Use a mouthguard for sports or grinding.

  • Maintain good oral hygiene.

  • Visit your dentist regularly.

Seeking prompt dental care ensures better outcomes. If you suspect a fractured tooth, consult your dentist immediately!
