Solutions on How to Administer Cracked Tooth
2
- 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
4
- 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.
5
- 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.
8
- 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.
