Cracked Tooth Syndrome Minnetonka MN

What is Cracked Tooth Syndrome?

Cracked tooth syndrome is where a tooth has incompletely cracked but no part of the tooth has broken off.

Symptoms:

• Sharp pain to biting or releasing force
• Sharp pain to cold food or beverages
• Pain when grinding the teeth

Treatments:

• Stabilization with a core build-up
• Crown restoration for long term stabilization to minimize flexing of the tooth
• Root Canal Therapy if pain persists after the crown
• Extraction

Why is it Important to Treat a Cracked Tooth?

Leaving a cracked tooth can lead to severe pain, pulpal death, or loss of the tooth.
