What are cracked teeth
Cracked, or fractured teeth are referred to as cracked teeth syndrome (CTS) occur when cracks appear in teeth.
Oftentimes the imperfections seem small and don’t cause any harm, however in some cases, teeth can split or or break.
Fractured or imperfect teeth are most commonly found in older patients or children, if you believe that you have this problem contact us immediately.
What are the symptoms
In general you may feel that your teeth are hurting or sensitive, or there may be no symptoms at all, if you feel that something isn’t right get in touch with us.
Teeth come in two parts, the root that is below the gums, the crown that you can see above the gums.
Each part consists of a number of layers, enamel, dentine and pulp.
The enamel of the tooth is the outer white surface.
The dentin of the tooth is the middle layer.
The tooth pulp is made up of blood vessels, nerves and it is the soft inner tissue.
When teeth are cracked or fractured some or all layers are affected, what can be done about cracked teeth depends on the location of the issue.
Most likely to crack
The teeth that are most likely to crack are the ones at the front and the teeth towards the back (mandibular molars).
Not only could one tooth be damaged button multiple teeth can be affected through trauma or injury, dental cavities, or other issues.

Cracked teeth: Fractured teeth are classified as a vertical crack that begins at the biting surface of your teeth and goes all the way to the gum line and root.
Fractured cusp: A fractured cusp is a crack that has been created around a filling, normally these aren’t painful.
Hairline cracks: Hairline cracks are thin small cracks that are seen on the outer enamel of the teeth, these are also painless.
Vertical tooth fracture: A vertical tooth fracture or crack begins below the gum line and extends to the biting surface of the tooth.
