Cracked Tooth Syndrome

• Cracked tooth syndrome happens when a tooth has
  a crack that is too small to show up on X-rays,
  or is beneath the gum and can be very challenging
  to identify. It appears most often on molars.

Cause of Cracked Tooth Syndrome

• As with many conditions in the mouth, theres no
  one reason for cracked tooth syndrome. However,
  some of the common causes include
• People who grind or clench their teeth
• The way in which a person's teeth come together
  can put too much pressure on one tooth, causing
  the tooth to crack
• Teeth with large fillings
• Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment

Diagnosis of Cracked Tooth Syndrome

• Many people who are suffering with cracked tooth
  syndrome have symptoms for months because it is
  one of the most difficult dental problems to
  diagnose.Total oral examination, dental
  history, radiographs and the use of a fiber optic
  hand piece can assist in the identification of
  cracks. People with a history of a cracked tooth
  are more likely to have others, either at the
  same time or in the future.

  grind or clench your teeth. Grinding can increase
  your risk of getting a cracked tooth
