Think you’ve cracked a tooth or chipped a filling? Here’s what you need to know about diagnosing and treating this common dental issue! 🦷🛠️

In a recent case with my wife Michelle (yes, even dentists’ spouses can have dental issues!), she thought she had cracked a tooth. Here's what we typically do when patients come in with similar concerns:
Assess the symptoms: Patients often call in thinking they've cracked a tooth or chipped a filling. First, we ask specific questions about their symptoms:
Where is the discomfort located?
How long has it been bothering you?
Has the pain been getting worse, or has it stayed the same? 📞
Pain severity matters: In Michelle’s case, the tooth was sharp and uncomfortable, but the pain wasn’t getting worse. If it were worsening or accompanied by swelling or trouble sleeping, an immediate dental appointment would be necessary. ⏱️
Next steps: If you're experiencing similar symptoms, it's important to get checked out. Even if the discomfort seems minor, it could signal a larger issue, like a cracked tooth that needs professional attention.
