Broken teeth occur when a tooth is cracked, chipped, or fractured due to trauma, decay, or excessive pressure. This condition can cause pain, sensitivity, and difficulty in chewing. Common causes include accidents, biting hard foods, or grinding teeth during sleep, known as bruxism. Treatment for broken teeth depends on the severity of the damage. Minor chips may be repaired with dental bonding, while more severe fractures might require a crown or root canal. In some cases, extraction may be necessary. Regular dental check-ups can help prevent issues that lead to broken teeth and maintain overall oral health.
