Treatment Options for a Cracked or Fractured Tooth
Published
The treatment for a cracked tooth depends on the severity of the crack. Dental bonding or filling can repair minor cracks, while more extensive cracks may require a dental crown to protect and strengthen the tooth. In cases where the crack has reached the tooth's pulp, a root canal may be necessary to remove infected tissue and save the tooth. In severe cases where the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be recommended.
