Video Transcript
A tooth can develop a crack from biting something hard or from grinding. A crack may begin as a fine line on the surface. Over time, it can extend deeper toward the sensitive inside. A cracked tooth may hurt when biting or with hot and cold. If the crack reaches the pulp, the tooth can become infected. Treatment ranges from a crown to a root canal, depending on the crack. Catching a crack early gives the tooth the best chance. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
