Charlotte cosmetic dentist looks at more reasons for cracks under crowns

So this tooth probably had an ‘original’ crack that continued, slowly, until it needed a root canal. Later it completely fractured.

But here’s another reason the tooth under this crown may have fractured. This patient has eaten very hard, crunchy cereal for many years. She was trying to be ‘good’ and eat healthy food, but the trauma of this hard food over the years may also have contributed to the tooth’s demise.
