Cracked Tooth
Do you have a cracked tooth?
A tooth that is cracked can be painful. It also can lead to disease of the tooth. How do you know if you have a cracked tooth?
Look for these signs:
sharp pain when biting down that quickly disappears
pain that comes and goes
pain when eating or drinking
feeling that something is stuck between your teeth
Or you may have no signs at all.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the size, location and direction of the crack, as well as your symptoms. Dr. Sorkin will talk with you about the treatment that is best for your tooth. It is possible that he recommends no treatment at all, since tiny cracks are common and usually do not cause problems.
Extractions
Before pulling a tooth, we will give you an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. If you are having more than one tooth pulled or if a tooth is impacted, we may use a stronger anesthetic. If the tooth is impacted, we might cut away gum and bone tissue that cover the tooth and then, using forceps, grasp the tooth and gently rock it back and forth to loosen it from the jaw bone and ligaments that hold it in place. Sometimes, a hard-to-pull tooth must be removed in pieces.
