Cracked teeth may be preventable in many cases. If you avoid damaging habits like chewing on non-food objects and biting down on hard foods, you may be able to preserve your teeth.
Endodontists typically perform root canal therapy to save cracked teeth but that really depends on how extensive the crack is. Some cracked teeth cannot be saved and will require extraction. Cracked teeth cause inflammation that spreads to the interior, affecting the pulp. Pulp infection can cause pain as well as symptoms like fever or chills. Root canals stabilize the tooth, replacing damaged pulp with a biocompatible filling material and preserving the tooth for several years of wear.
