A member asked:

Is it possible to keep my cracked-tooth intact with my gum without removing or doing root canal by taking sincere care?

Crack will get worse: No, your cracked tooth can only get worse not better. If you have symptoms your choices are a crown, crown/root canal, or removal. The recommended treatment depends on how severe the crack is.

No: No. Eventually, it will get infected and require extraction. Treat the tooth.
