Frequently Asked Questions
Cracked Teeth / Cracked Tooth Syndrome | Date Posted: 1/1/2002
| Question
Will my tooth become better?
| Answer
Unlike fractures elsewhere in the body, this crack will never heal. There is a small chance that the crack will get worse even with a crown placed. This may lead to the need for root canal treatment, or even removal of the tooth. However, many cracks can be fixed without root canal or tooth removal.
