People who are more likely to have dental fissures in their mouth are people <strong>between the ages of 20<\/strong> and <strong>30<\/strong>, but <strong>especially people<\/strong> over the age of <strong>50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of dental fissures<\/h2>\n<p>We can see two types of dental fissures: <strong>internal<\/strong> and <strong>external<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>External fissures:<\/strong> these types of fissures do not cause pain as they only affect the enamel. They are considered that they<strong> cannot cause any really serious problems<\/strong>, but they should be treated with a seal to prevent <strong>bacteria or other infections<\/strong> from entering the part.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Internal fissures:<\/strong> these can cause quite intense pain in the tooth, as they pass the surface layer of the piece. They can even <strong>affect dentin<\/strong>, leading to nerve damage. In the event of a nerve problem, an <strong>endodontic<\/strong> solution would be required <strong>to save the piece<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the other hand, if we encounter the problem that the crack of the <strong>tooth reaches<\/strong> the gum, the <strong>extraction<\/strong> of the tooth will be required.<\/p>\n<h3>Why can dental fissures appear?<\/h3>\n<p>Dental fissures can occur for various reasons, but the main ones are the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chewing<\/strong>: any hard food such as <strong>ice<\/strong> can seriously affect our teeth. Also the high <strong>consumption of sweets<\/strong> can increase the possibility of appearance of dental fissures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: although it may seem silly, sudden temperature changes can be a <strong>key point<\/strong>. The rise and fall of <strong>temperature<\/strong> greatly affects our dental health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bruxism<\/strong>: bruxism is usually <strong>the main cause<\/strong> of the appearance of dental fissures. It markedly wears the surface of the tooth, this leads to the piece <strong>gradually weakening<\/strong>. It should be added that the continuous pressure exerted can also lead to the appearance of <strong>dental fissures<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral trauma<\/strong>: a blow to the mouth by accident can lead to the appearance of multiple <strong>dental fissures<\/strong>. This usually happens when some of our parts are in <strong>treatment<\/strong>, as it is weaker and dentin is <strong>dehydrated<\/strong>. The tooth is weaker than normal, so eating some hard food such as nougat, can lead us to a severe dental fissure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What symptoms can I experience if I have a broken tooth?<\/h3>\n<p>Each dental fissure is different, so depending on how it is, we can experience one type or another of <strong>symptoms<\/strong> and <strong>ailments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased <strong>sensitivity to eating<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Inflamed gums <strong>around<\/strong> the affected part.<\/li>\n<li>Feeling pain with <strong>sweet foods<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Pain at <strong>sudden temperature<\/strong> changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to diagnose dental fissures?<\/h3>\n<p>There are three options to diagnose dental fissures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visual examination<\/strong>: with a wide range of magnifiers and probes, our trusted dentist will be able to see in which part <strong>the fissure is located<\/strong> and diagnose what type it is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dental dye<\/strong>: with the application of this dye to our mouth, it will be easier to detect where the fissure is, since the dye will be introduced <strong>into the break<\/strong> and will be seen clearly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>X-rays<\/strong>: x-rays will not show us the <strong>dental fissures<\/strong> we may have but, if they can guide us on our dental health and <strong>pulp health<\/strong>. The health of the pulp can be a clue to indicate that we have <strong>dental fissures<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Treat your dental fissures with Dentist Gross<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to remedy your <strong>dental fissures<\/strong>, do not hesitate to contact us so that you stop experiencing that pain so annoying that you do not enjoy your favorite food.<\/p>\n<p>We are one of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinicadentalgrossdentistas.com\/en\/\"><strong>dentists in Malaga<\/strong><\/a>, we have a wide range of professionals as well as treatments that can help you solve your dental fissures as well as any other type of dental problem you have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are dental fissures?
