Cracked Tooth Treatment in Melbourne & Noble Park North

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

Teeth can cracked  as a result of trauma, chewing hard meals or crunching on ice, sports injuries, or everyday wear and tear. A crack may be so thin that you cannot see it, or it may be obvious to the unaided eye. Additionally, the discomfort may not be immediately apparent because it can fluctuate back and forth.

When you chew, it could feel sharp. when you consume a hot or cold beverage, or spike. Because the pulp deep inside your tooth is exposed, you experience agony when your tooth cracks. Nerves that are sensitive to pain and changes in temperature are housed in the pulp.

If you experience any of these erratic symptoms, it’s best to call a dentist right away so your tooth can be treated. Read more about it below.

What you need to know about  Cracked Tooth and Cracked Tooth Syndrome

racked Tooth and Cracked Tooth Syndrome

What are the causes of cracked tooth syndrome?

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

Cracks in the teeth can occur for many reasons, including:

  • Eating and chewing tough foods, such as nuts, bones, hard sweets, etc.
  • Using your teeth as tools (such as opening bottles)
  • Teeth grinding at night
  • Mouth and teeth injuries brought on by sports, falls, or blows delivered during a fistfight.
  • Age-related natural tooth structural deterioration
  • Abrupt changes in the temperature of mouth (eating something extremely hot followed by extreme cold things)
  • Large fillings that need to be replaced
  • Uneven bite may place excess strain on one tooth

A cracked tooth can take several different forms:

 

Cracked Tooth and Cracked Tooth Syndrome Treatment Melbourne

 

 

Craze lines: These are shallow cracks that cause no concern and need only cosmetic treatment. They are surprisingly common among adults.

 

Deep crack: Once a crack travels below the tooth’s exposed surface into the root, it cannot be treated. Extraction will be necessary. This measure may be avoidable with early detection.

 

Fractured cusp: A break near a filling where the enamel comes off. This can be fixed with a replacement filling or a crown.

 

Split tooth: This kind of crack occurs after a long time without treatment. A skilled dentist will know if a portion of the tooth can be saved to rebuild the tooth.

 

Root fracture: Sometimes the root itself becomes cracked below the surface. A crack like this will become noticeable only when the gums and bone near the tooth experience decay. Extraction or oral surgery can solve the problem.

CRACKED TOOTH SYNDROME

 

  • Teeth with fractured tooth syndrome typically have fractures that are too small to be detected on Xrays, in contrast to teeth with visible fractures. 
  • It can be much harder to spot fracture when it is below the gum line.
  • The lower molars, which typically absorb the majority of the stresses of chewing, are where cracked tooth syndrome tends to occur more frequently.
  • Because of the repeated stresses placed on their teeth, people who grind or clench their teeth may be more prone to developing cracked tooth syndrom
  • Some molar cusps—the highest points of the teeth can press so hard against the next tooth during person’s regular bite that the opposing tooth splits.
  • The likelihood of a tooth cracking is higher for teeth with big fillings or teeth that have had root canal therapy.
  • People who have one fractured tooth are more likely to have more ones in the future or concurrently.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome – signs and symptoms

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne
  • pain on biting a certain way
  • a sharp pain on biting or chewing, possibly with the release of biting pressure
  • pain when chewing or biting that comes and goes, rather than having a constant toothache
  • tooth pain symptoms that can last for months but are not consistent
  • teeth are sensitive to hot or cold temperature extremes
  • teeth are sensitive to sweet or sour foods
  • tooth pain that often occurs in molars, usually lower molars, which absorb most of the chewing forces
  • wanting to chew only on one side of the mouth
  • people with one cracked tooth are more likely to have others, either at the same time or in the future
  • if a crack is extensive, a tooth or piece of a tooth may feel loose
  • sometimes there are no signs or symptoms at all

Diagnosing cracked tooth:

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne
Finding tooth crack can be difficult. We frequently need to act as true “dental detectives.” For the most part, tooth fractures 
are not noticeable to the human eye. When crack lies below the gum line, it can be more challenging to spot. 
Our dentists will perform complete examination to look for any apparent cracks, wear on the teeth, the bite pattern, dental structure, 
big fillings, and anomalies in the gums. 
The surface of the teeth will be felt for fissures using dental tool called an explorer. Although digital xrays can be taken, it’s likely that tooth crack won’t be visible on one. 
You will be asked to bite down on a plastic test stick that looks like a toothbrush without bristles to help zero in on a crack. One cusp or part of a tooth will be tested at a time as you bite down. If you feel pain on biting or on the release of the biting pressure, that part of the tooth likely has a crack affecting it. Early diagnosis and treatment of tooth cracks is important so that the problem doesn’t get worse. Like cracks in a windshield, cracks in teeth often start small and progress slowly. The sooner a crack is detected and treated, the better the chance of saving a tooth. It’s important to share any signs or symptoms of cracked tooth syndrome that you may be experiencing with your dental team.

TREATMENT

 

Treatment depends on the location, direction and extent of the crack. Cracks vary from superficial ones in the outer layers of the tooth to deep splits in the root affecting the pulp (the center of the tooth, which contains the tooth’s nerves).

After diagnosis, the best course of treatment will be determined. The best treatment is often determined by the size, location, and severity of the crack. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary if the crack is small and not causing any pain. If the crack is larger or causing discomfort, however, there are a few different options available.

No treatment: Tiny hairline cracks in the enamel which doesn’t create pain or are visible may be left as it is.

DENTAL BONDING

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

Dental bonding involves using a tooth-colored resin to fill in the crack. The resin is matched to the color of your existing teeth and then hardened with a special light. This can be used to treat small, superficial cracks.

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

DENTAL CROWNS

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

One common treatment option is to have a dental crown placed over the cracked tooth. This will help to protect the tooth from further damage and can also help to alleviate any pain or sensitivity.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

In some cases, a root canal may be necessary if the crack has reached the pulp of the tooth. This will help to save the tooth and prevent any further damage.

If a crack affects the pulp, you probably will need root canal treatment. About 20% of teeth with cracked tooth syndrome require root canals. After a root canal, the tooth will no longer be sensitive to temperature, but it still will respond to pressure. This means that if you felt pain when you bit down before the root canal, you probably will not feel it as intensely as before, but you may feel it from time to time.

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

EXTRACTION

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

In some severe cases, the tooth may need to be extracted. Some cracks extend into the root of the tooth under the bone and there’s no way to fix the tooth. If your dentist decides the tooth needs to be extracted, you can have it replaced with an implant or a dental bridge.

 

No matter what treatment is recommended, it is important to get it done as soon as possible to avoid further pain or damage to your tooth. Untreated cracks can continue to grow and can eventually cause pieces of the tooth to break off. Teeth with untreated fractures are also more susceptible to infection and gum abscesses.

PROGNOSIS

 

Cracked Tooth, Cracked Tooth Syndrome treatment Dentist Melbourne

Cracked Tooth and Cracked Tooth Syndrome Treatment Melbourne

 

 

Cracked tooth prognosis is always questionable. There is always the possibility that the crack will progress, even if cuspal coverage is performed. Limiting the amount of tooth flexure is the goal with bite adjustment and cuspal protection.

But the micro-movement of tooth function can contribute to crack propagation over the long term. Not all cracked teeth are destined to fail. But depending on patient circumstances, occlusal stability and patient cooperation, a cracked tooth may eventually fail. Removing damaging habits (for example, by providing a night guard and controlling bruxism), covering cusps on the variability of cracked tooth treatment are recommended preventive strategies.

PREVENTING CRACKED TOOTH SYNDROME

 

  • treat clenching or grinding habits with relaxation therapy, night guards and day guards to protect teeth from heavy forces
  • bite adjustment to even biting forces
  • orthodontic treatment (braces) so teeth are aligned and mesh properly to achieve even biting forces
  • avoid chewing on hard objects
  • avoid tooth decay by maintaining a healthy diet and good oral hygiene
  • when lifting weights, avoid clenching down hard with your teeth or wear a sports guard
  • when it comes to contact sports, play safe and wear sports guards to avoid accident or injury
