Causes and Symptoms of a Broken or Cracked Tooth

You can break or crack a tooth in a variety of ways, including:

  • Poor dental health habits
  • Untreated cavities
  • Blunt force trauma to your mouth
  • Teeth grinding
  • A misaligned bite

Cracks in your teeth aren’t always visible. They may be too far back in your mouth for you to see, for example. The most common symptoms associated with broken teeth include:

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
  • A toothache
  • Pain when chewing, especially when eating hard or crunchy foods
  • Gums swelling around the tooth
  • Swelling in your face

If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, but aren’t sure if you have a broken tooth, visit your dentist for an examination. Even if the pain comes and goes, find out if your tooth is damaged and needs an experienced dentist’s attention.
