Fractured & Broken Teeth
Teeth are remarkably strong, but they can chip, crack (fracture) or break.
This can happen in several ways:
- Biting down on something hard
- Being hit in the face or mouth
- Having cavities that weaken the tooth
- Having very large amalgam (silver) fillings
Pain from a broken or cracked tooth may be constant or may come and go. Many people feel pain when they chew because chewing puts pressure on the tooth.
