cracked tooth
Damaged dental structure
A cracked tooth is a tooth with a fracture in its structure, ranging from minor surface cracks to deep splits extending into the root.
The term appears in dental contexts: The dentist said I had a cracked tooth that needed a crown.
Cracked teeth often cause sharp pain when biting or sensitivity to temperature.
