Cracked tooth pain can mainly be treated by filling therapy, root canal therapy or tooth extraction for quick pain relief.
1. If the fractured tooth has not injured the pulp tissue, but the loss of hard tissue will cause the pulp tissue to be sensitive to external stimuli such as hot and cold, the tooth can be filled and restored to restore the missing part of the tooth in order to effectively stop the pain.
2. If the fracture is deep enough to cause inflammation of the pulp tissue, root canal treatment is necessary to remove the infected and inflamed nerve in order to effectively stop the pain.
3. If the tooth is severely fractured (e.g. the whole tooth is split) and cannot be preserved by filling or root canal treatment, the tooth can only be extracted to relieve pain.
It is recommended to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis of a cracked tooth to prevent delays in the treatment of the condition.
