If the crack has extended into the pulp, the tooth can be treated with a root canal procedure and a crown to protect the crack from spreading. However, if the crack extends below the gum line, it is no longer treatable, and the tooth cannot be saved and will need to be extracted.

If the Dentist says the tooth cracked because of grinding and not because of the filling he put in 2 weeks ago is this correct?

it is most likely the tooth had a small crack in it anyway. the tooth was alittle"high"from the new filling and the extra pressure from biting on it, cracked the tooth. usually after a new filling, you should go back to have the filling polished which strengthens the filling and adjusts the bite.


My stepson's tooth cracked in half after it fell out then he lost another tooth a couple days later and that one cracked in half during the night as well Has this happened to anyone else?

yes it happened to me my tooth was lying in a case and when i went to look at it it was cracked. I, too, have had this happen. All three of my children have shed their baby teeth, and all three have had at least one of them crack spontaneously. One of them cracked right in front of us. My daughter and I were standing right next to the cup in which we had placed her tooth when it cracked with such force that one half of it was propelled a few feet. I don't know why. I have asked dentists, but none of them could tell me why. In fact, they had never heard of the phenomenon.
