Dental cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. Cavities are caused by a combination of factors, including bacteria in your mouth, frequent snacking, sipping sugary drinks, and not cleaning your teeth well.

A cracked tooth may present with various signs and symptoms, which can vary in intensity depending on the extent and location of the crack

Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are often used to support and restore a cracked tooth. When a tooth is cracked, the structural integrity of the tooth may be compromised, and it may become weak or susceptible to further damage. Dental crowns are an effective treatment option to address this issue.
