Trhání zubů: Co to je, proč se děje a co s tím dělat
When you feel a sharp crack in your tooth — that sudden, painful snap — you’re not imagining it. This is trhání zubů, náhlé poškození zubní skloviny nebo zubního tělesa, které může vzniknout i bez viditelného zlomení. Also known as prasklá sklovină, it often starts as a tiny hairline fracture that grows under pressure from chewing, grinding, or temperature changes. Many people ignore it, thinking it’s just a minor annoyance. But a cracked tooth doesn’t heal on its own — and left untreated, it can lead to infection, nerve damage, or even tooth loss.
What causes this? The most common culprits are zubní kámen, tvrdá hmotnost, která oslabuje strukturu zubu a zvyšuje riziko prasknutí, bruxismus (škrábání zubů během spánku), nebo zubní infekce, která způsobuje dutiny a oslabuje zub zevnitř. Even habits like biting into hard candy, opening bottles with your teeth, or sudden temperature shifts (like eating ice cream after hot coffee) can trigger cracks. If you’ve noticed increased sensitivity to cold or sweet foods, or pain when you bite down, that’s your body’s alarm bell.
Don’t wait until it hurts all the time. Early signs — like occasional sharp pain or a rough edge you feel with your tongue — are your best chance to save the tooth. A small crack can often be fixed with a filling or crown. But if it reaches the nerve, you’ll need a root canal. And if it splits all the way down? Extraction. The sooner you act, the less invasive — and expensive — the treatment.
In the posts below, you’ll find real-life advice from people who’ve been there: how to manage pain before seeing a dentist, why home remedies often make it worse, and what actually works when your tooth feels like it’s splitting apart. You’ll learn how to tell if it’s just sensitivity or a true fracture, how zubní kámen accelerates the damage, and why ignoring a cracked tooth is like ignoring a leak in your roof — it starts small, but it doesn’t stop until everything collapses.
