Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cracked tooth can be treated with normal tooth color restoration if it is involving only enamel and dentin. If it is involving the pulp then it has to be restored with RCT or extraction. If the crack is extending into the root then the tooth cannot be saved, it has to be extracted. To know whether the tooth is infected or not, you can get a radiograph done, which shows the presence of infection or extension of the crack. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done and later we can decide the treatment. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
