Sometimes while eating, you experience severe pain in your teeth which can be observed only while biting down on something unlike cavities and fractures where you suffer from aching. The reason might be due to the formation of minute cracks in your teeth, which when subjected to pressure can lead to sharp pain as a result of stress on the nerve. This pain immediately retreats once the pressure on the tooth is removed thereby closing the crack. While these cracks require special instruments for their detection, considering that are too small to be visible to the naked eye, they might be deep enough to affect your tooth parts like enamel and dentin besides possible affect on the nerve too.
The reasons for this Cracked Tooth Syndrome can be due to severe trauma to the mouth or the gradual development of these cracks in your teeth due to various factors like Bruxism (teeth grinding at night), repetitive chewing, chewing on hard eatables like candy or ice. These fine invisible cracks when left untreated can increase the severity of the condition resulting in the need for either a root canal or a tooth extraction process. If you approach the dentist before the crack deepens and affects your nerve, you will be checked for the confirmation of this syndrome through an intra-oral camera or other such instruments. The dentist will go ahead in replacing the cusp of your tooth and replace it with a Dental Crown for the Cracked Tooth Syndrome to be off.
