Cracked teeth can cause sharp pain, sensitivity, and even lead to infection if left untreated. Whether it’s a minor fracture or a deep crack, seeking immediate care is essential to prevent further damage. Our endodontic team specializes in evaluating and treating cracked teeth to preserve your natural tooth and relieve discomfort.

Traumatic injuries that shift, fracture or move teeth do not always require immediate endodontic treatment. However, it is important to see an endodontist to follow the American Association of Endodontists trauma guidelines to either treat or monitor these teeth, ensuring the best long-term outcome.

When a child traumatizes a permanent tooth, it is vitally important they see an endodontist. Sometimes, regenerative endodontic procedures can be completed,  maintaining the life of the tooth and decreasing the chances of fracture and re-infection. In other instances, we can use apexification or vital pulp therapy to maintain traumatized adult teeth to allow for patient growth and future esthetic work like crowns, implants and veneers.
