If the tooth looks healthy on the xray.... they can have you bite on a bite stick which is specially designed for teeth. So don't go biting on just any stick! The bite stick can sometimes detect a fracture. Other times if a fracture is not diagnosed, but the tooth is fractured, there will eventually be signs and symptoms that something is wrong.
However....... stop stressing over this tooth because you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Let is rest, keep the area clean, have a new nightguard made and give the area some time to heal.
I'll be checking in over the weekend....... let me know if you need me!

My tooth that was removed had a sharp pain when biting and a large white filling in the crown, the only way he saw the crack was to drill into the pulp chamber and see the crack going into the root.
