Do you have discomfort or pain when you bite on your food? It might be an early sign of cracked tooth! Let us share more insights on this increasingly common issue

Are you worried that you might have a crack in your teeth? Crack-inducing habits such as chewing on hard food and parafunctional habits like grinding or bruxism can make our teeth more prone to cracks!

Symptoms:

Discomfort or pain when chewing
Pain on release of biting pressure
Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures

Prevention:

Avoid chewing on hard objects such as ice, pens etc.
Do not clench or grind your teeth.
If you suspect you clench or grind your teeth at night, speak to your dentist about wearing a night guard.
Wear a mouth guard when playing contact sports.
