Teeth can crack due to a number of reasons and one of the big problems in dentistry today is trying to identify cracked teeth. Quite often you may hear a crack when eating and everything seems fine. However at a later date the teeth can become sensitive. Due to the fact that all teeth have stress fracture lines on them that may give you no problems it is very hard for the dentist to diagnose the problem. This will take some time and patience.

Often cracked teeth will fall apart when you are eating something soft or may even fall apart when the dentist is trying to do a repair job on your teeth. You should opt for more definitive treatment which will give you a longer term solution which may be an onlay or a crown of some description. You will find that heavily filled teeth are more prone to cracking as shown in the diagram below
