CTS can mean anything from a tiny hairline split in the crown to a fracture that goes all the way to the root. If you have a nasty toothache and remember biting down on something hard, it’s time to call Dr. Buske. Don’t worry though, because the dental professionals at Granbury Dental Center are committed to giving you the best oral care that Granbury has to offer.

Treating Cracked Tooth Syndrome
No one in Granbury should have to deal with the pain and inconvenience of a cracked tooth.

If you think you have cracked tooth syndrome, visit Dr. Buske before it becomes serious! If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, call Granbury Dental Center today.
