Due to modern technology, people are living longer lives.
Also, due to modern technology, they are living more stressful lives and their teeth are being exposed to much more crack-inducing habits, such as clenching, grinding and chewing on hard objects – such as ice. These are destructive habits that cause damage to our teeth.

If you bite down into something and experience sharp pain in your tooth, it may mean that the tooth is cracked. The pain may be fleeting and you may compensate by not chewing on that side, the tooth still needs attention. The feeling persists, and can include any of the following:
- Pain while chewing
- Pain associated with cold air application
- Unsolicited pain (usually from the leakage of sugar into a tooth crack)
Additionally, when seeking treatment for such pain, you may find:
- No radiographic evidence of the problem
- Tooth pain without dental decay present
- Verification of a crack when a tooth is prepared for restoration
Your cracked tooth may only show up in an X-ray or, it might be easily seen on inspection. If the root is affected, the most common way to deal with it is via root canal.
In a root canal, the pulp, nerves and blood vessels are removed from your tooth. The evacuated space is filled in with “gutta-percha”. The tooth is then covered with a crown that will allow the tooth to continue to function normally.
If the break in the tooth is too much to save it, your broken tooth will be removed. There are a number of options for dealing with the extracted tooth, such as: bridges, dental implants and partial dentures. Any of these dental implements will restore your mouth to be able to bite, chew, speak and smile.
