Dental cracks or fissures are common, especially between the ages of 30 and 60. It can happen when chewing something very hard or with a sudden change in temperature.<\/p>\n
A crack in a tooth occurs most frequently between the ages of 30 and 60, although it can occur at any age.<\/p>\n
Dentists call this a cracked tooth symptom and, on occasion, it can lead to a tooth fracture.<\/p>\n
It is usually small in size and difficult to locate.<\/p>\n
We explain how to know if you have a crack in a tooth.<\/p>\n
Depending on the person, symptoms can vary and can last for weeks and even months.<\/p>\n
From acute pain when chewing or dental sensitivity when eating cold, hot or very sweet foods.<\/p>\n
Although the causes are very varied, the most common are the following: Bruxism, which makes us clench our teeth unconsciously.<\/p>\n
Defects in teeth that have been restored with fillings, crowns, bridges…<\/p>\n
Chewing or biting something hard: ice, candy… Defects in the formation and development of the tooth, as well as in its shape.<\/p>\n
Aging of the teeth and the tissues that surround them, which lose elasticity as we get older.<\/p>\n
Use of tongue and lip piercings.<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
The earlier a cracked or chipped tooth is treated, the easier it will be to avoid irreversible damage, such as the tooth itself being extracted.<\/p>\n
If left untreated, it could lead to nerve death and an abscess (accumulation of pus) may appear.<\/p>\n
Although, unlike broken bones, a crack in a tooth will never heal completely, there are treatment options that will allow the tooth to remain fully functional and pain-free.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, dental x-rays sometimes do not show cracked teeth.<\/p>\n
That’s why it’s important that you know the symptoms we’ve mentioned so you can go to your dentist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Once you are at the dental clinic, you will be able to perform complementary tests that confirm or rule out the absence of a fissure. + info: Am I a bruxist? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categoria":[67],"class_list":["post-2795","actualitat","type-actualitat","status-publish","hentry","categoria-salut-bucodental"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat\/2795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualitat"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicacervera.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=2795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
