Cracked and Chipped Teeth Treatment in White Rock
Restore Comfort And Protect Your Smile
Understanding Tooth Damage
A Cracked Tooth, Chipped Tooth, or other Tooth Fracture can happen from biting hard foods, grinding, injuries, or everyday wear. Even when the damage looks minor, the tooth may be weakened or more vulnerable to sensitivity, decay, or further breakage.
Some cracks are easy to see, while others may only cause discomfort when chewing or reacting to hot and cold temperatures. A Dental Examination helps determine how deep the damage is and what treatment may be needed. Common Causes:
Biting Hard Foods or Objects
Sports Injuries or Accidents
Worn or Weakened Enamel
Large Fillings in Older Teeth
Sudden Dental Trauma to the Mouth
