Cracked teeth are a frequent cause of tooth pain while chewing. In most cases this can be fixed and you return to chewing comfortably on the tooth. 

SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A CRACKED TOOTH:

• Tooth pain when you chew on a specific tooth, especially chewy food like bread
• Prolonged Sensitivity to cold and especially hot - Drinking coffee may be excruciating!
• Swelling or Tenderness in the nearby gum issue
• Sometimes there are no symptoms and an x-ray is needed to identify problem teeth.
