Teeth Loose and Fractured
In case of a brief, sharp pain, both chewing and eating something cold, there may be an incomplete fracture of a tooth (green stick fracture). The dentist can correct the problem with a filling (restoration), provided in the case of an incomplete fracture without loosening of the tooth.
The upper teeth, particularly the forwards if they are prominent, are more prone to injuries and fractures. If after injury the tooth does not respond to stimulus from the air, it is likely that the damage affected only the hard outer surface (enamel). This does not require immediate treatment if it is a small crack.
