Is there no worry about periodontal health if the teeth are strong and free from decay? Can I use my teeth without any worries?
I sometimes meet patients who say, “I haven’t seen my teeth for decades, my teeth used to be so good that I could eat anything… Some time ago I bit into something hard…”
It turns out that the tooth was split and cracked. Split teeth are usually not retained and have to be extracted, which is a great pity

Also.
When you inquire, you often have the habit of eating hard things, such as chewing fava beans, opening beer bottle caps with your teeth, biting walnut shells, biting pine nut shells…
So it’s better to bite less of the hard stuff.
Fracture usually occurs in teeth after endodontic treatment. However, it can also occur in healthy teeth that have not been treated.
We recommend a full crown restoration to protect the tooth after endodontic treatment.
