How To Confirm A Tooth Crack?

DId the tooth crack? I was to the dentist just on today (he closed 2 hrs ago) and got my teeth polished etc. he said nothings wrong goodbye, see ya in 6 months. But now at home ich moved my jaw and my lower left canine sort of made a cracking noise. I don't see anything missing from the tooth and I was not chewing anything at that moment. I have a night mouthguard because I clench my teeth at night btw. I am afraid,do you think it is cracked? What to do? When I sleep, I will unconsciously start clenching and I am afraid of waking up with a cracked tooth. Is it bad or normal? What'd you say?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you feel like tooth is cracked dont be worried so much if your tooth is cracked then you may feel pain or if may your enamel is chipped of then you feel senstivity , I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of oral cavity and for clenching discuss with your dentist and go for Appliance Nightguard.
Clenching is seen in patients mostly due to stress , dont take stress , be relaxed take sleep of atleast 8 hours.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.
