A member asked:

Should i be concerned about a crack in teeth?

Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Depends: All fractures are not the same. A fracture in the enamel of an anterior tooth may require little if any treatment, whereas a fracture in your molar may require a crown to save the tooth. No one answer for every situation, so let your own dentist evaluate your condition.
