Treat Decay Early

If left untreated, cracks will cause the tooth to split completely in half and the tooth will need to be removed.

If detected and treated early enough the tooth with a deep filling can be strengthened by crowning. This is the most predictable technique for preventing and treating fractures.

Once the fracture has gone close to the nerve (pulp) in the tooth, the tooth may abscess and to treat this infection requires root therapy in addition to crowning.
