About The Video
In this episode of The Bite Angle, Dr Justin, Dr Dustin, and Dr Soo explore what happens when a tooth cracks and how dentists manage these cases. They explain that cracks can develop from repeated stress, grinding, or old fillings, and may spread deeper if left untreated. Using a simple analogy, they compare a cracked tooth to a bamboo stick — the longer the split, the weaker it becomes.
The doctors highlight that placing a dental crown can help “shorten” the crack, protecting the tooth from further damage. They also discuss how early detection and intervention are key to saving teeth before they fracture completely. Through their discussion, they provide a clear, relatable explanation that helps patients understand both the risks and solutions for cracked teeth.
Cracked teeth are a common issue that often go unnoticed until pain or sensitivity develops. Dr Justin, Dr Dustin, and Dr Soo explain that small cracks can gradually extend under chewing pressure, leading to more serious fractures or even tooth loss. Recognising the early signs — such as discomfort when biting or temperature sensitivity — allows dentists to intervene promptly and preserve the tooth’s structure.
Crowns are one of the most effective ways to manage cracked teeth, as they act like a protective shell to distribute bite forces evenly. The doctors stress that untreated cracks rarely heal on their own, and delaying treatment increases the likelihood of further complications. Their insights encourage patients to prioritise regular checkups and seek advice when symptoms arise, helping maintain long-term oral health and prevent costly, invasive procedures later
