Case Description
I was eating some potato chips and heard this weird sound in my mouth. I immediately felt that I might have slightly cracked my tooth. I looked in the mirror with a small pen light and dental mirror and saw what appears to be a thin crack on the lingual side of my molar, closer to the mesial side. What are treatments for this?I didn't spit out anything from my mouth, the tooth didn't break, just what appears to be a crack.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
