It's an awkward one to describe. Nothing looks wrong in the mirror, cold sets it off some days, and the sharp jolt arrives as you release the bite rather than as you press down — usually on a tooth you can't quite point to. Cracks that fine rarely show on an X-ray either.
Diagnosing one takes bite testing, magnification, and sometimes lifting an old filling to trace the fracture line underneath.
Dentist for Chickens investigates bite pain and treats cracked teeth before they split apart.
🦷 Bite testing pinpoints which tooth and where the crack runs ✨ Caught early, a crown or onlay can hold the tooth together 💬 Left too long, the crack reaches the nerve or splits the tooth 🪥 Old fillings inspected, since cracks frequently start beneath them
