The patient may report the following variable symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sharp\n     pain while biting on a certain tooth; which gets worse when applied biting\n     force is increased.<\/li><li>Tooth\n     may become more sensitive to cold temperatures i.e. sharp pain while\n     drinking cold beverages or eating cold food.<\/li><li>Sharp,\n     fleeting pain when biting force is released from the tooth.<\/li><li>Feeling\n     pain while backward and forward grinding of teeth<\/li><li>Eating\n     and drinking sugary substances brings pain.<\/li><li>Eating\n     certain foods and biting in a specific way may be painful.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the treatment options available to treat Cracked Tooth Syndrome?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment of the condition depends upon the locations,\ndirection and extent up to which tooth is cracked. Following are the treatment\noptions used to treat the conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If one\n     or more cusps are affected, then dentists may restore them with \u2018Crown\u2019.<\/li><li>A root\n     canal may be advised if your pulp is affected.<\/li><li>A\n     tooth may be extracted in the case where crack is extended into the root of\n     the tooth under the bone. You can have the extracted tooth replaced with\n     an implant or a bridge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Dr. Bikram Singh DMD for the best possible and\nstate-of-art dental solutions.
