| When a tooth is cracked, a
filling
may not seal the crack. A crown
may have to be placed over the tooth to hold
it and the crack together. If the crack is
not restored, the tooth will become sensitive
to chewing pressure, or will eventually break.
It is important to restore a cracked tooth
before it breaks, because in some cases
a broken
tooth cannot be filled or crowned
and must be extracted. |
