Cracked tooth-what is it?

A fractured tooth also referred to as the CTS[ cracked tooth syndrome] happens because of the appearance of the crack in the tooth. At times, this crack may be small and pose no harm. But the problem arises when the tooth splits or breaks because of this dental condition.

At MSDC, you will get complete treatment for this ailment after your appointment with our oral surgeon.

Tooth fractures–these may be common

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:

  • Area of the fracture
