What is indicative of cracked tooth syndrome?

Pain on smiling
Discoloration of the tooth
Pain on biting and on release
Sensitivity to cold

The correct answer is: Pain on biting and on release

Indicative of cracked tooth syndrome is pain on biting and on release. Pain on smiling is typically associated with periodontal disease or a damaged tooth with exposed nerves, while discoloration of the tooth may be a sign of tooth decay or trauma. Sensitivity to cold can also be a symptom of various dental issues, but cracked tooth syndrome specifically causes pain on biting and release because the crack in the tooth affects the pressure placed on that tooth. It is important to consult a dentist for a proper diagnosis if you are experiencing this type of pain.
