Cracked Tooth Syndrome

Having cracked tooth syndrome does not mean that you are accident prone when it comes to chipping or cracking your teeth. Although accidents happen, cracked tooth syndrome occurs when a tooth has a crack that is too small to show up on X-rays or is under the gum and challenging to identify. If you grind our clench your teeth you can increase your risk of cracked tooth syndrome. This is why it is important to talk to Dr. Christopher Emuedue at Greenville Family Dentistry about oral health issues if you have any and visit our office regularly for dental checkups.


Many people with cracked tooth syndrome have symptoms for months because it’s one of the most difficult dental problems to diagnose. To diagnose a cracked tooth, Dr. Christopher Emuedue will complete a thorough examination of your mouth and teeth, focusing on the tooth in question. How long pain symptoms last, depend on the location, direction, and extent of the crack and so does treatment.


If you experience pain upon biting or chewing, please give us a call. To learn more about the services we provide at our office, visit www.greenvillefamilydentistrytx.com for more information.
