  • I have a cracked tooth. Does this expose me to an infection?

    It can expose you to an infection and it also cannot expose you to an infection. It is all dependent on how deep the fracture is. If the fracture communicates to the pulp inside the tooth, or the pulp becomes exposed, then yes it is possible for an infection to develop. If neither of those things occurred, then the nerve inside may be just fine. A dentist needs to examine the tooth make this assessment. However, even if a fracture does communicate to or expose the pulp, it is unlikely that the tooth would become infected immediately. You would first develop symptoms to temperature possibly pain on biting. I would recommend making an appointment with your general dentist or contact an endodontist (root canal specialist). Good luck! READ MORE
