Solutions on How to Administer Cracked Tooth

• Our tooth is composed of soft and hard
  tissues. The crown of the tooth is encased in an
  outer covering called enamel and an inner
  covering called dentin, which protects the pulp
  tissue in the middle. Ideally, a tooth is strong
  enough to withstand all kinds of forces but there
  are many reasons that one can suffer from a
  cracked tooth.

• A tooth can crack after it has gotten brittle
  from a root canal
• A tooth can become weaken due to dental caries
• A tooth can accidentally fracture because of a
  wrong bite
• A tooth can break from a physical blow to the
  mouth
• A tooth can crack because of constant grinding
  and clenching

• A cracked tooth can trouble a patient and a
  reliable dentist can prescribe the following
  solutions for the problem
• Dental Filling. If the crack on the tooth is due
  to dental decay, the most appropriate solution
  will be a simple tooth filling. Any diseased
  tissue will have to be removed and the tooth will
  have to be prepared, before it is filled and
  restored to its natural form and appearance.

• Dental Bonding. Teeth boding makes use of
  composite resin, which is the same material used
  in dental fillings. This kind of restoration is
  appropriate for cracks found on the facial or
  frontal surface of the tooth because it is a
  restorative procedure performed by layering
  filling material over the tooth surface.

6

• Dental Crowns. If the crack on the tooth is more
  severe and there is danger of further fracture on
  the tooth, a crown may be fitted on the tooth
  instead, to restore it. For crowns to be
  fabricated, the tooth will have to be reduced,
  though so some compromise will have to be made.

7

• Dental Veneers. Veneers are a more cosmetic
  alternative to dental bonding procedures. It
  follows the same principle of covering just the
  facial surface of the tooth to cover cracks, but
  since a prosthetic material will have to be
  placed some tooth reduction is required. Dental
  veneers may be fabricated in ceramic or porcelain
  material, depending on the patients own
  preference.

• A reliable dentist aims to address a dental
  problem by looking closely. He will look into the
  condition and make a good assessment, so that he
  could forward the perfect treatment based on the
  patients own preference. A cracked tooth may be
  dealt with by the dental treatments mentioned
  above. Choose one that is most appropriate for
  your need.
