Powdered teeth are usually caused by trauma, fissures and developmental abnormalities, and should be treated as soon as they are detected.
1. When a tooth is hit by an external force or after biting hard food, it may lead to the fragmentation of the tooth tissue, which is manifested as chalking of the tooth, and in severe cases, it may also cause the pulp cavity to be exposed and accompanied by pain.
2. Hidden tooth cracks are usually related to factors such as large slope of the tooth tip and defective tooth structure, etc. Through examination, small cracks can be found on the surface of the crown of the affected tooth, due to the low strength of the tooth at this time, so it is easy to appear the phenomenon of tooth pulverization and fragmentation when biting and swallowing food.
3. Abnormalities in tooth development are mostly related to factors such as congenital genetics and pathogenic bacterial infections. Mild cases are usually manifested as abnormal tooth color, while severe cases may also show symptoms such as abnormal tooth morphology and pulverization of teeth.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in time for examination and treatment.
