It's difficult to diagnose the cause of the discomfort in cracked
teeth. Chewing can cause movement of the cracked pieces of your tooth, and the pulp
within the tooth becomes irritated. Although our pictures to the
left indicate that the crack can be seen, this is usually not the
case. The "Fracture Spotter" can duplicate the sensation
of chewing on the cusp tips, one at a time and verify the diagnosis. Endodontic treatment and
cusp protection of these teeth
at the earliest possible stage, increases the chances for success.
