CTS can mean anything from a tiny hairline split in the crown to a fracture that goes all the way to the root. If you have a nasty toothache and remember biting down on something hard, it’s time to call Dr. Paini. Don’t worry though, because the dental professionals at Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry are committed to giving you the best oral care that Denver has to offer.

Treating Cracked Tooth Syndrome
No one in Denver should have to deal with the pain and inconvenience of a cracked tooth. In addition to being extremely uncomfortable, CTS may allow nasty bacteria into the root and/or pulp chamber of the tooth. At that point, a root canal or even extraction will likely be necessary. If you think you have cracked tooth syndrome, visit Dr. Paini before it becomes serious!
