Due to the location of the crack, damage to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth is common.

At times, the crack may extend below the gingival tissue. \u00a0In those cases the long-term prognosis of your tooth is not good. \u00a0Our doctor will review the alternative options available to you; which may include removal of the tooth and replacement with a bridge or dental implant. \u00a0Although we do not typically remove the tooth in our office, our doctor will work with your dentist to guide you through the process.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVertical Root Fracture\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.endonapa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/vertical-root-fracture-modern-endo-of-napa.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"190\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vertical root fractures are rare but can occur in teeth that have had previous endodontic treatment. \u00a0Vertical root fractures are cracks that begin deep in the root and extend toward the chewing surface. \u00a0In some limited cases the tooth can be maintained by removing the damaged portion of root. \u00a0Extraction of the tooth is usually recommended.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \/content -->\n\t<!-- \/tabs -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet The Team Some common types of cracks are superficial and require no intervention while other cracks can eventually lead loss of your tooth. \u00a0\u00a0A cracked tooth can cause a wide variety of symptoms. \u00a0\u00a0The movement along the crack irritates the nerve of the tooth. \u00a0\u00a0If cracks and fractures are left untreated they can allow&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
