What Is a Cracked Tooth?
A cracked tooth occurs when a fracture develops in the enamel or deeper layers of the tooth. Cracks can result from biting hard foods, teeth grinding, trauma, or aging. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve bonding, a dental crown, root canal therapy, or extraction if the tooth is severely damaged.
