Will it hurt to get a cracked tooth fixed?

Get numb first!: Before any dental treatment that may cause any discomfort, it is important that you get numb well. In almost all cases, you will receive anesthetics before treatment. Occasionally, a dentist sees a minor crack, and may decide not to get you numb. If you are worried about any possible discomfort, share your concern with your dentist so that you can get anesthetized (numb) before treatment begins.

Painless: dental treatment may sound like an oxymoron, but new techniques and advanced anesthesia are making it a reality for many patients. It helps you to save cracked teeth, maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and improve your general health.
