Fractured or Cracked Teeth

Comparison between a non-treatable tooth vs a treatable toothEndodontic treatment is often needed due to the presence of a fracture in a tooth. If the fracture extends into the pulp, endodontic treatment is needed. If the fracture extends onto the root surface, below bone, then the tooth is not savable and would need to be extracted.
