Types of Tooth Fractures

HAIRLINE CRACKS OR CRAZE LINES

When your teeth experience trauma (such as grinding or blunt force), you may develop microfractures in the enamel. These subtle signs of damage are known as craze lines or hairline cracks. While hairline cracks in teeth can’t be removed, they can be covered with dental bonding, veneers, and other cosmetic dentistry treatments.

FRACTURED CUSPS

Cracked molars are prone to fractured cusps (when the top of your tooth snaps entirely or partially). A fractured cusp can be quite painful and requires immediate medical attention.

CRACKED TOOTH

When bite forces become too strong, a cracked tooth can be the consequence. A cracked tooth is a fracture that begins at the crown and runs underneath the gumline, making it an especially concerning issue for dentists.

SPLIT TOOTH FRACTURE

Did you know that a tooth can split in two? When a fractured tooth takes a turn for the worst and is segmented into two distinct sections, it’s called a split tooth fracture.

VERTICAL ROOT FRACTURE

Have you ever undergone a root canal? If so, then there's an increased risk of vertical root fractures. Although these can be avoided with proper care, the breakage begins from the top and travels all the way down to where your tooth meets its roots below gum level.
