Save That Fractured Tooth with Dental Crown Treatment

A fractured tooth is susceptible to decay, infection, or further deterioration that can lead to tooth loss. That’s why your tooth should be treated right away. Dental crowns offer a practical solution to repairing chipped, fractured or broken teeth to avoid extraction. Crowns are protective caps placed over weak, worn, or damaged teeth to keep them from infection or further damage. At Aesthetic Dental Creations, we offer dental crown services to our patients in Jackson, New Jersey, and nearby communities.

Fractured Tooth Symptoms

Teeth are composed of three layers: enamel, dentin, and pulp. The enamel is the hard outer layer of your tooth, capable of withstanding the pressures of biting and grinding food. The dentin beneath the enamel is the second layer, distinguished by its yellow color. The third layer is the pulp of your tooth, containing the blood vessels and nerves. A fracture that reaches the pulp of your tooth will cause extreme pain. The most common symptoms of a fractured tooth are:

Pain when biting or chewing
Pain when your tooth is exposed to hot or cold substances
Erratic pain that comes and goes without warning

A deep crack in your tooth can expose the pulp to oral infection. Left untreated, the infection can cause irreparable damage to your tooth, requiring that it be removed. Dental crown treatment can restore your fractured tooth to avoid complications with decay or infection.
