You are correct, you may have a fractured tooth.

Chewing hard candy/ice will fracture tooth enamel. Talk to your Dentist about your pernicious clenching habit which can also cause tooth fracture as well s supporting bone damage. An Occlusal Orthotic may be helpful. You would also be well advised to have your teeth examined by an Endodontist.
