While cracked teeth are not completely preventable, you can take some steps to make your teeth less susceptible to cracks:

• Don’t chew on hard objects such as ice, unpopped popcorn kernels or pens.
• Don’t clench or grind your teeth. (If you clench or grind your teeth while you sleep, talk to your dentist about getting a retainer or other mouth guard to protect your teeth.)
• Wear a mouth guard or protective mask when playing contact sports.
