Overview
A dental fracture is a break or crack in a tooth, usually caused by trauma or biting down on something hard. Dental fractures can range from minor chips to severe fractures that extend into the root of the tooth. Common treatments for dental fractures vary depending on the extent of the damage and may include bonding, crowns, root canals, and even extractions. Treatment is important to prevent further damage to the tooth and the surrounding structures, as well as to restore normal chewing and improve the appearance of the tooth.
