🦷 What's going through their minds? Episode 6. "C 🦷 What's going through their minds? Episode 6.

"Could it be cracked?"

If you've ever felt a sharp pain when biting down, this thought has probably crossed your mind.

The tricky part is that cracked teeth aren't always easy to see, and the symptoms can come and go. A small crack today can become a much bigger problem if it's left untreated.

The good news? Not every crack means you'll lose the tooth. Catching it early often gives you more treatment options.

Have you ever had pain when biting that seemed to disappear... only to come back later?

Learn more about the signs of a cracked tooth on our website ➡️ https://zurl.co/yoP1c or give us a call if something doesn't feel right. Your tooth may be trying to tell you something. #eastcoastendova #comfortablynumb #rootcanaldoctor #rootcanals #thoughtbubblethursday #canyouspottheseagull
