What is cracked tooth syndrome?
Cracked tooth syndrome is a condition exactly as the name implies: a tooth with a crack running through it. Unlike a fractured tooth, cracked tooth syndrome usually involves smaller cracks that are not readily visible. Teeth can crack in many different ways. Craze lines are cracks on the enamel. Split or cracked teeth, however, begin on the outside of the tooth and extend downwards, affecting the enamel, dentin, and nerve.
