Tooth Fractures
Tooth fractures are breaks or cracks in the dental structure that can range from small cracks in the enamel to breaks that affect deeper parts of the tooth. They can occur suddenly or develop little by little.
Common causes: They are usually related to blows or accidents, biting hard objects or food, wear or bruxism, and teeth weakened by cavities.
Common symptoms: There may be pain when chewing, sensitivity to cold or heat, rough edges, or, at times, no obvious discomfort.
When to see a doctor? It's advisable to seek prompt care after a blow or if pain or sensitivity appears, since an untreated fracture can get worse.
Which specialist treats it? The dentist evaluates the tooth and determines how to restore it; the maxillofacial surgeon steps in for more complex cases. Seeing a professional promptly helps preserve the affected tooth.
