Cracked teeth can be elusive and painful, often misdiagnosed or overlooked. In 2025, Kevin Molldrem DDS sees more patients dealing with symptoms like sharp pain on chewing, temperature sensitivity, or intermittent discomfort. Known as Cracked Tooth Syndrome, this condition can worsen quickly if left untreated. Kevin performs detailed exams using bite tests and transillumination to identify cracks invisible on X-rays. Once diagnosed, treatment ranges from bonding and crowns to root canal therapy, depending on severity. Kevin emphasizes early intervention to prevent tooth loss and further complications. He also educates patients on avoiding habits that cause cracks—like ice chewing, grinding, or using teeth as tools. It’s a small issue that can turn serious, but with the right care, your tooth can be saved.
