Can a Cracked Tooth Be Saved?
A cracked tooth does not automatically mean extraction. The possibility of saving it depends on the location, depth, and direction of the crack, along with the remaining healthy tooth structure.
A crack may cause pain while chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, or intermittent discomfort. Some cracks are treatable with restorative procedures, while deeper cracks involving the pulp may require root canal treatment followed by a crown.
However, if the crack extends below the gum line or compromises the tooth beyond predictable restoration, extraction may be necessary.
A proper clinical examination and appropriate dental imaging help determine whether the tooth can be preserved and which treatment offers the best long-term outcome.
At OralNest Dental Clinic, Wakad, Dr. Ashutosh Dighe (BDS, MDS) provides comprehensive diagnosis and personalised treatment planning for damaged and painful teeth.
