Types of Tooth Cracks

Not all cracks are the same. The type of crack determines the urgency and treatment options available to save your tooth.

Craze Lines

Superficial cracks in the outer enamel only. These are cosmetic and usually do not require treatment unless they cause sensitivity.

Fractured Cusp

A piece breaks off near a filling, typically around the chewing surface. This usually does not affect the pulp and can be repaired with a crown.

Cracked Tooth

A crack extends from the biting surface toward the root. If caught early, the tooth can often be saved with a crown or root canal. If untreated, it can split.

Split Tooth

A crack splits the tooth into distinct segments. In many cases the tooth cannot be saved and extraction is necessary. This is often the result of an untreated cracked tooth.

Vertical Root Fracture

Starts at the root and extends upward. Often produces no symptoms until the surrounding bone and gum become infected. Typically requires extraction.

Cracked Filling

An old filling fails and the surrounding tooth structure weakens. The tooth becomes vulnerable to further cracking and decay if not repaired promptly.

What to Do Right Now

If you think you have a cracked tooth, follow these steps while you arrange your appointment:

  1. Avoid chewing on that side — continued biting pressure can deepen the crack and cause it to split.
  2. Rinse with warm salt water — mix half a teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water and gently swish to keep the area clean.
  3. Take ibuprofen for pain and swelling — ibuprofen reduces both pain and inflammation. Follow the dosage instructions on the label.
  4. Apply a cold compress — hold a cold pack or ice wrapped in a towel against the outside of your cheek for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off.
  5. If a piece broke off, save it in milk — bring the fragment to your appointment. In some cases it can be bonded back.
  6. Call Divine Smiles for same-day evaluation — cracks worsen quickly. The sooner you are seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth.

Signs Your Cracked Tooth Needs Immediate Attention

Call us right away if you experience any of the following:

  • Sharp pain when biting or releasing bite
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Pain that comes and goes unpredictably
  • Swelling near the cracked tooth
  • Visible dark line on tooth surface

Cracks can worsen rapidly — a cracked tooth today can become a split tooth tomorrow.

A Cracked Tooth Will Not Heal on Its Own

Cracks only get worse. Early treatment can save the tooth. Delay risks infection, a split tooth, or extraction. Call Divine Smiles now.

My wisdom tooth chipped and gave me extreme pain on Friday night. I couldn't find a dental office willing to take me on Saturday. Sunday Morning I couldn't take the pain as it escalated to my jaw and though out other teeth. After searching on google I found this was the ONLY dental office that was open on a Sunday and takes walk-ins. The wait time was minimal and the young lady at the front desk was so understanding and helpful. The tech who took photos of my teeth was patient and Dr. Yanatan Zakinov was the best dentist I've ever met. He was straightforward, honest, and didn't try to talk about anything else but the problem I was having. He looked at my teeth and knew right away an extraction of my wisdom tooth had to be done. He was careful to make sure there was no pain and kept insisting that I let him know if I feel any pain. Within 20 minutes of seeing him, my tooth was extracted and my pain was gone. I 100% recommend going there and I'm looking forward to my future appointments with them.

I was a walk in emergency appointment on a Sunday morning and ended up needing two teeth extracted. I also happen to have anxiety surrounding dental visits so I was unsure of what to expect (I was here from out of town). Dr. Jacob was very understanding and gentle with the procedure. He took time to discuss options with me and did not push for anything extra or unnecessary. If I lived locally I would have gladly continued on with them as my primary dental care providers.

Like other reviews I had a similar experience. I was in a lot of pain, in need of an extraction. Divine Dental got me in within an hour after I called. Dr. Alex broke things down simply and was kind; As well as his assistant. This will be my new dental office. Thanks to everyone who helped today, from the front desk to the x-ray tech. You all made a difficult time a little easier to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about cracked tooth treatment at Divine Smiles.

Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?

No. Unlike bones, teeth cannot heal themselves. A cracked tooth will only get worse over time and can lead to infection, a split tooth, or the need for extraction. Call Divine Smiles at 203-865-1480 for a same-day evaluation.

How do I know if my tooth is cracked?

Common signs include sharp pain when biting or releasing bite, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, pain that comes and goes, and sometimes a visible line on the tooth. Some cracks are invisible to the eye and require dental imaging to detect. Call 203-865-1480 for diagnosis.

Does insurance cover cracked tooth treatment?

Yes, most dental insurance plans cover emergency treatment for cracked teeth. We accept Medicaid, HUSKY Health, and most major plans. Our team verifies your coverage before treatment. Call 203-865-1480 to check your benefits.

What are the treatment options for a cracked tooth?

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the crack. Options include bonding, a crown, root canal therapy, or extraction for severe splits. Early treatment gives you the best chance of saving the tooth. Call Divine Smiles at 203-865-1480 for an evaluation.
