From chewing foods to grinding our teeth when we sleep, our teeth get worn down. Over time small sometimes barely visible cracks can appear in our teeth. Despite our best efforts at maintaining proper dental hygiene, those small cracks can lead to a very broken tooth.
My Molar Broke in Half!
As we age, our teeth become weaker. It’s not uncommon for pieces of our teeth to break off — or even break in half — especially if the tooth has had multiple fillings. When your tooth first cracks, you might only really notice it when it starts to bother you, especially when eating or drinking hot or cold foods. But once it finally breaks it can have sharp edges or points that make eating or drinking difficult; pain from exposed nerves, and possible infections.
