At Craft 32 Dental Care, treatment for a cracked tooth will likely focus on preventing further damage and saving the tooth whenever possible. Here's an overview of possible treatments they might offer for a cracked tooth that could prevent tooth loss: Dental Bonding or Fillings: For small, superficial cracks, your dentist might apply dental bonding material to seal the crack and prevent it from getting worse. This is often a quick and non-invasive procedure. Dental Crowns: For larger cracks or those affecting the structural integrity of the tooth, a dental crown may be recommended. A crown covers the entire tooth, protecting it from further damage and providing strength. Root Canal Treatment: If the crack extends into the tooth's pulp (the nerve), leading to infection or severe pain, a root canal may be necessary. This involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it. Afterward, a crown is typically placed over the tooth. Extraction: In extreme cases where the crack is so severe that the tooth cannot be saved (e.g., it breaks into multiple pieces or is beyond repair), extraction may be necessary. However, this is usually a last resort, and your dentist will try to save the tooth through other methods first. At Craft 32 Dental Care, the dentist will assess the crack's severity and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your situation. If you're concerned about a cracked tooth, it’s best to schedule a consultation with them to discuss your options and prevent further complications.
