I just discovered a hairline crack in my front tooth HELP? I am really upset about this. I'm 23 years old and today I put down the mirror and looked at my teeth and the light from the sun illuminated the crack in my tooth. It appears to go from the top to the bottom. Right now I can't see it unless I look at it in bright light or if I look at it very closely in the mirror but I m worried Will it get worse and discolor inside the crack? What could have caused this? Will my tooth eventually try to split apart? The crack is down the middle. Is there anything to repair this? Thank you in advance.

In today's world of cosmetic dentistry we can pleasingly camouflage these cracks or minor anomalies. Go for clinical and xray examination and treat the tooth accordingly by conservative means like cosmetic light cure filling or root canal treatment with colour matched crowns and veneers.

First by clinical examination, dentist will identify whether its is normal anatomy of enamel (sometimes) or actual crack. If there is normal anatomy it will not worse the condition. And we can mask it with laminate or else. If actual crack is there then also according to crack involvement treatment can be carried out. Thank you.
