What symptoms can indicate a cracked tooth?<\/h1>\n\n

Short answer<\/h2>\n

Symptoms of a cracked tooth can include sharp pain when biting, pain when releasing the bite, sensitivity to cold or heat, recurring discomfort, tenderness, swelling, a loose filling or a tooth that feels unusual even though no hole is visible. A cracked tooth should be examined because cracks can deepen over time.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n

Why cracked teeth can be difficult to detect<\/h2>\n

Not all cracks are visible. A tooth may look normal but still have a crack in the enamel, dentin, filling or deeper tooth structure. This is why symptoms can come and go.<\/p>\n

Cracks may also be difficult to see on standard X-rays, especially if they are small or run in a certain direction. Diagnosis often relies on symptoms, bite tests, clinical inspection and imaging when needed.<\/p>\n\n
