Cracked tooth-what is it?

Tooth fractures may be common among elders as well as children but anyone can crack a tooth. There is no specific age factor for this dental condition. If you suspect a fractured tooth, you can consult our dental specialist at MSDC.
Tooth zones with a high tendency for cracks
The two parts of the teeth are:
- Crown- the portion that is visible above the gums
- Root-the portion that is located below the gums
Multiple layers in crown and root:
- Enamel- This is the exterior surface of the tooth. It is hard and white.
- Dentin- This is the middle layer in the tooth
- Pulp– This is the soft tissue located in the interior portion of the tooth and comprises blood vessels and nerves
The above three mentioned layers are subject to tooth fractures. Cracked tooth treatment in Andheri west depends on:
