Cracked Tooth explained
A cracked tooth often hurts when you bite down and release, or gives a sharp jolt with hot or cold. Cracks range from harmless surface lines to fractures that reach the nerve, and the right treatment depends on finding exactly where the crack runs.
Endodontists locate cracks using microscope magnification and 3D CBCT imaging that a regular exam can miss. Caught early, many cracked teeth can be saved with root canal therapy and a protective crown from your dentist.
When to call
A cracked tooth that hurts on biting should be evaluated within a few days; waiting lets the crack spread deeper.

Common questions
How do I know if my tooth is cracked?
Pain on biting and release, sharp jolts with temperature, and pain that is hard to pinpoint are the classic signs. Microscope examination and 3D imaging confirm the crack and how far it runs.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Unlike bone, tooth structure cannot repair a crack. Treatment stops the crack from spreading and protects the nerve inside.
Will my cracked tooth need to be pulled?
Many cracked teeth can be saved when treated early, often with root canal therapy followed by a protective crown. The deciding factor is how far the crack extends.
