What are the consequences of not treating a cracked tooth?

Dental health is very important to people's lives because teeth can help people chew food and promote digestion and absorption of the stomach. When teeth are affected, eating problems may occur, and some may also cause severe pain. For example, tooth splitting is a common phenomenon. Let’s take a look at the consequences of not treating tooth splitting.

After a tooth is cracked, you should go to a dental hospital for treatment in time. If you go to the hospital only after you feel it has fallen out, the tooth has already become necrotic and useless, and the only treatment is tooth extraction. In fact, 90% of patients can keep their teeth if cracked teeth are treated in time.

Split teeth are caused by various reasons, such as hidden cracks in teeth or split crowns when we chew. Symptoms include sensitivity to hot and cold, pulpitis, pain, and the patient is afraid to chew food. In the past, under such circumstances, most dentists who have been engaged in oral clinical work for many years would recommend extraction. But people always say that things that are lost are always precious, and teeth are no exception. Missing teeth will affect the intake and absorption of nutrition, and have a great impact on health and life. Therefore, preserving the cracked tooth and restoring its function is the preferred treatment option.

If a tooth is cracked and you don't bite something hard, it won't fall out, especially if it's an inner tooth, it's hard to tell whether it's cracked or not. Therefore, some patients miss the best time to treat cracked teeth. Never neglect a cracked tooth.

Metal crowns or dental caps are usually used to repair split teeth. This method is beneficial to the protection of teeth and can also restore chewing function by using the tooth roots. The price is also very advantageous. Loved by the public.

In addition, this method can also be considered for repairing missing teeth and caries.

The disadvantage is that the color of the metal will be different from other teeth, affecting the aesthetic effect. Metal crowns may fade and pollute the gums after being used for a long time.
