| 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. |
