 When
a tooth is cracked, a filling will not
seal the crack. A crown has to be placed
over the tooth to hold it and the crack together. If a crown is not
placed on the tooth, the tooth will become sensitive
to chewing pressure, or will eventually break. It is important to
crown a cracked tooth before it breaks, because in some cases
a broken tooth cannot be crowned and
must be extracted. |
