Over time, eating and drinking wear away our enamel, which is why our teeth are meant to last a lifetime. We can develop cracks or chips in our teeth as a result. In addition to causing pain when biting and chewing, a cracked tooth can also be sensitive to hot and cold. It is possible, however, for a cracked tooth to present no symptoms at all.   It is possible to develop further oral health problems as a result of a cracked tooth. An inflammation caused by a crack can spread to the pulp of the tooth, the inside part of the tooth. It is possible for this pain to spread to the pulp, resulting in infection.   To protect your smile, practice good dental hygiene, avoid hard foods, and wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play contact sports.   Cracked tooth treatment is available at Ace Endodontics.
