Can a Cracked Tooth be Saved with a Root Canal?

There are many different types of cracks found on our teeth, some concerning and some not so much. Generally, the cracks we worry about have a questionable or poor long-term prognosis. However, each case is different. Depending on the location and extent of the crack, we can provide you with a better understanding as to the prognosis of your tooth.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to remove cracks on teeth. Root canal treatment may help alleviate any uncomfortable symptoms you may be experiencing, allowing you to add time to the overall lifespan of the cracked tooth. Because the structural integrity of the tooth is damaged, however, it’s possible this tooth will need to be removed in the future.

If you’re suffering from a cracked tooth, contact our trusted endodontist today. We’ll conduct a detailed evaluation of your tooth and help you understand your treatment options and what the long-term prognosis of your tooth looks like.

How to Know If a Tooth Is Cracked

A professional diagnosis is the best way to know for sure that your tooth is cracked. Cracked teeth can present with many of the same symptoms you may experience with an infection on a tooth that is not cracked.

Some of the signs or symptoms you can experience with a cracked tooth include:

1

Pain when biting or clenching your teeth together

2

Sensitivity to cold

3

Chronic or spontaneous pain

4

Bumps on your gums

5

Inability to identify where in your mouth the pain is originating or what tooth is hurting

What Causes Cracked Teeth?

  • Grinding your teeth
  • Excessive force to one tooth
  • Large fillings that weaken your tooth
  • Untreated tooth decay
  • Biting down on something hard
  • Trauma to the face, head, or mouth, such as a car accident or sport injury

Why Might a Cracked Tooth Need a Root Canal?

When the hard outer layers of your tooth are cracked, bacteria can invade the once protected nerve system, damaging the tissue and typically causing pain. Over time, this can lead to an infection that can spread to the bone and gum tissue. Endodontic intervention may help prolong the life of your tooth and get you feeling back to normal.
