Broken, Cracked, or Chipped Tooth
A chipped or broken tooth mainly occurs due to accidents and if you receive a blow on your face. If your teeth get broken, chipped, or cracked, you should consult your dentist nearby immediately without any delays.
What are the Differences between a cracked and a chipped tooth?
- A cracked tooth is likely to have a small part of the tooth break off or a large chunk that exposes the roots. A cracked tooth does not necessarily mean you have lost a piece of dentition, but rather, there is a division in the tooth. It can be a hairline crack that is not noticeable or a split that reaches down to the root.
- Chipped teeth are often more noticeable, and you should treat them immediately.?
- A chipped tooth is usually very painful in the initial stages, while a cracked tooth is not painful, but if left untreated, the crack could deepen, and you could eventually lose your tooth.
