Cracked tooth syndrome is a real condition that can cause a lot of pain for the individual who has the cracked tooth. A person is said to have cracked tooth syndrome when the tip of a tooth is cracked, and the tooth begins to bend when the person bites something. The pain may not happen constantly, but if the cracked portion of the tooth is bitten at a certain angle, then the individual may experience a sharp pain. Similar to cavity pains, an individual with cracked tooth syndrome may notice the pain when he or she is eating foods that are hot, cold, or sweet. The best way to correct the cracked tooth is to put a crown over the damaged tooth. It is very important for an individual to get the cracked tooth corrected as soon as possible. Failing to correct it in a timely manner may lead to having to get a root canal or permanent removal of the tooth.

People must realize that a cracked tooth will not heal without professional repair. Many people are mistakenly under the impression that the tooth will eventually heal itself. If people choose to ignore the cracked tooth, the crack could go deeper; therefore, more problems will occur. However, if people choose to repair the tooth sooner rather than later, then there is a greater chance that the tooth will not have to be extracted.

There are many different types of cracks with cracked tooth syndrome. One type of crack is known as a craze. A craze is probably not as painful as more severe cracks, but it could cause the individual to lose confidence because of its unattractiveness. Therefore, most people will choose to repair this crack for cosmetic reasons.

A second type of crack is known as a fracture. With a fracture, the individual will usually need a crown to repair it. A fracture will be painful for the individual, especially when eating certain types of foods. However, if the fracture has damaged a nerve, a root canal or tooth removal may be the last options.

More severe forms of cracked tooth syndrome include splits and root fractures. With a split, there is a possibility that the tooth can remain if it is not too severe. However, with root fractures, the severity of crack is extreme, and most likely, this tooth will have to be removed.

Usually, when a person has symptoms of cracked tooth syndrome, the symptoms will include the following: pain when biting down, pain to certain types of foods and beverages, pain when the tooth feels air, and a toothache. However, there are times when there are no symptoms of cracked tooth syndrome, but the person may visually notice the cracked tooth.

There are ways to prevent experiencing cracked tooth syndrome. People should avoid chewing on hard items, using their teeth to open things, and grinding their teeth. Also, if people participate in sports, they should be sure to wear mouth guards to protect their teeth.
