Having a cracked tooth due to injury or decay can cause serious pain issues. The symptoms range in severity of pain while eating or drinking with sudden sharp pain from air traveling across the affected area. Temperature usually plays a large role in the pain as well, from cold foods to hot drinks with pain that comes and goes. If you suspect you may have a cracked tooth, it is advised that you schedule an appointment as soon as possible. This will ensure we save as much of the tooth as we can. A repaired cracked tooth can continue to function properly without pain for many years to come.
