Cracked Tooth
You should really see a dentist as soon as possible for an exam and an x-ray. Cracked teeth can be treated with a bonded composite filling, sometimes a root canal and crown could also be needed. Depending on where in the tooth the crack is, it may be impossible to fix, and the tooth might need to be extracted. In any case, the first step is to get it checked by a dentist to see what your options are.

Cracked Teeth
I have to concur with the others below to get an evaluation. To give a little more information, sometimes dental bonding can be used to fixed chipped or cracked teeth. This is usually used in cases when the defect is small.
If the crack or defect is larger, then sometimes porcelain veneers can be conservatively used to correct this.

Cracked Open Tooth?
My goodness, see a Dentist right away! I can't tell you what to do, but with an exam and a few x-rays a local Dentist should be able to diagnose and treat you. Good Luck, and please don't delay. Cracked teeth can easily become an emergency and quite painful if left alone.

See a dentist
You should see a dentist for an exam and x-rays. Different treatments are available depending on the severity of your cracked teeth. Do you have any symptoms? Any sensitivity or pain upon chewing? Hopefully the teeth can be saved. If the nerve is exposed, a root canal and crown are necessary. If the nerve is not involved but a big portion of the tooth is cracked off, then only a crown will be necessary. If it's a smaller fracture, a simple composite...

What to do with cracked teeth
Well the obvious answer is to go to the dentist. But you do not need any one to tell you that . Perhaps you did not put the right question. Teeth do not crack open without reasons and the extent of crack changes the possible treatment . Has a dentist told you they were decayed? Do they hurt? Did you suffer a trauma?
So please describe your situation better, so we could help guide you.

You need to provide more information
Your description is too vague to give you a good answer. You should provide more information such as which teeth, whether there is pain, how long, how they cracked, and photos if you can.

Treatment choice for a cracked tooth:
The treatment choice for a cracked tooth can range from a filling to a root canal with a crown; or even extraction if the crack is large. It really depends on how big the crack is and weather it is touching the `pulp’ or the nerve of the tooth. Treatment choice also depends on the amount of the remaining sound tooth structure around the crack. I suggest that you consult with a dentist to help determine your best option for those teeth. Earlier you act, more conservative the treatment...
