How to tell if my tooth is breaking?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tooth breakage: Do you have any symptoms, such as sensitivity to hot or cold foods or liquids? Do you have pain when biting down? These are indications of a possible tooth fracture. Sometimes a fracture can be seen on a radiograph, but not always. My advice: see a dentist.

Different things: Many times people can tell me before i can see something. You may have hot/cold sweet sensitivity, feel a sharp edge, a lost filling or a loose tooth. If you think a tooth is breaking, get it checked. The results may be better than if you wait.
