Are you concerned your cracked tooth may require treatment? If so you have come to the right place. First and foremost, just because you have a cracked tooth doesn’t mean you need treatment. As long as you aren’t experiencing any pain or any other symptoms, then treatment won’t be necessary.
If on the other hand, you notice sensitivity or pain when you are chewing food, that’s a sign you may need treatment.
The Three Most Common Treatments For a Cracked Tooth in Wrigleyville
The type of treatment you receive will depend on the severity of the crack. For the least severe cracks, a dental crown will be used to cover and restore the damage.
If the crack has extended deeper into the tooth, this is considered medium severity. This type of crack will usually require a root canal. A crown will then be placed over the tooth to help restore aesthetics and functionality.
Last but not least are the most severe cases of a cracked tooth in Wrigleyville. In these cases, the crack has extended deep into the tooth. Because the crack is so deep, a tooth extraction will be required. This of course is the most severe form of treatment.
And while most dentists will try to keep your natural teeth, in some cases this isn’t possible. If tooth extraction is the only option, you can always use a dental implant to replace the original tooth.
