| 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. |
