The most common cause of a broken tooth is undetected decay. Many people break a tooth while chewing something that isn't even all that hard. Of course healthy teeth are so strong they could not break from simple chewing. Therefore, if your tooth breaks, even if it doesn't hurt yet, call us as soon as possible. You could have a very large cavity that, if left unattended will become a very large toothache.
