^{BROKEN TOOTH}

How can I tell if my tooth is broken?

Did you have silver fillings as a child?

If you did, and you have had additional cavities, it’s possible that your remaining tooth has weakened over time and is susceptible to cracks that could progress into full cuspal fractures. It’s important to see your dentist before a crack progresses to a fracture – it can mean the difference between keeping or losing that tooth.
