Is a Root Canal a Solution for a Cracked Tooth?

There exists a diverse array of cracks that could occur on our teeth, some alarming and others relatively benign. Typically, cracks warranting attention may carry an uncertain or unfavorable long-term outlook. However, each situation is unique. Based on the crack's position and severity, we can offer an accurate prognosis for your tooth.

Regrettably, it's impossible to eliminate tooth cracks. Root canal treatment can help alleviate discomforting symptoms, potentially extending longevity of the cracked tooth. Since the tooth's structural integrity is compromised, there's a possibility it may need treatment in the future.

If a cracked tooth is causing you distress, reach out to our trusted endodontist today. We'll perform a meticulous assessment of your tooth and guide you in understanding your treatment options and the long-term prospects for your tooth.

Determining if a Tooth Is Cracked

Obtaining a professional diagnosis is crucial to confirm the presence of a cracked tooth. Symptoms of a cracked tooth can often overlap with those of an infected tooth that is not cracked.

Possible signs and symptoms of a cracked tooth include:

Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Discomfort while biting or chewing
Spontaneous or lingering tooth pain
Swelling or tenderness of the gums around the affected tooth
Inconsistent pain, which may be challenging to pinpoint

If you experience any of these indications, it's essential to consult our expert team for an accurate assessment and appropriate treatment recommendations. Prompt intervention can prevent further complications and ensure the best outcome for your oral health.
