What Causes Teeth to Crack?
A cracked tooth can result from years of wear or sudden trauma, causing pain and difficulty with speaking or chewing. Cracked teeth come in a variety of types, including craze lines, fractured cusps, vertical root fractures, and split teeth. Cracked teeth do not heal on their own, which is why it's crucial to seek professional treatment as soon as possible to maximize your chances of saving your natural smile. At Baldwin County Endodontics, Dr. Christopher McManus specializes in cracked teeth repair for patients in and around Fairhope, AL. No matter how you might have injured your tooth, our team is here to help you alleviate pain and avoid oral health complications in the future. Contact Baldwin County Endodontics to schedule your consultation and get the treatment you need to enjoy your healthiest smile.
How Are Cracked Teeth Fixed?
During your consultation, Dr. McManus or another member of our team will examine the tooth to assess the damage and plan your treatment. Our main goal when fixing cracked teeth is to restore the tooth's structure while safeguarding the area from future infections. For surface injuries to the enamel, we'll use a filling or crown to close the crack and prevent it from growing. If the crack has reached the inner pulp of the tooth, we may have to perform a root treatment to clean out any possible infection. If you have a vertical root fracture or split tooth, then endodontic surgery may be required to restore it.
What Are the Benefits of Fixing Cracked Teeth?
A cracked tooth can seriously affect the way you feel about your smile. Even worse, cracked teeth are susceptible to breaking or becoming infected, causing problems for your oral and overall health in time. With cracked teeth treatment at our Fairhope, AL office, you can:
- Prevent infection and protect against further damage
- Restore tooth strength, function, and durability
- Make biting and chewing easier
- Enhance the appearance of your smile

Baldwin County Endodontics Reviews
2 very good experiences with Dr McManus and his staff.
Extremely impressed - Dr McMantus is a kind caring man. It shows in the work he does. I feel very fortunate to be able to see him. He works with us Veterans and grateful to him for it. He is talented and gentle. His staff is as outstanding as he is.
They set appointment date which was two weeks later. I asked to call me if they had a cancellation and they did. I was seen on 1/19/22 which was only a few days after the initial call.
Family oriented! Excellent Staff! When I came in was nervous! When I left, Calm and for me that's saying alot! Highly recommend!
