cracked teeth
Damaged dental enamel
Cracked teeth are teeth with fractures ranging from superficial enamel lines to deep splits reaching the root.
The plural appears in dental contexts discussing damage from grinding, trauma, or biting hard objects: The dentist found several cracked teeth from years of clenching.
Cracked teeth often cause sharp pain when chewing or sensitivity to temperature.
