How much ?: A little chip can be smoothed down, a moderate chip can probably have a white restoration placed, a large chip may require a crown. A local dentist will be able to help you. Make a call for an appointment.

Question 3

what do you suggest if my upper left tooth just chipped, but it's the front of it, like the surface. wtf do i do?

Accepted Answer

Call a dentist !: That's about all you can do, since you cannot restore the tooth on your own. The dentist will evaluate the fracture and advise you of your treatment options and the associated fees. Hope this info helps...

Question 4

hi there, i have chipped my front tooth its not visible- will this turn into a whole or problem or can i leave it?

Accepted Answer

Tooth chipped: A very small tooth chip that doesn't impact the structure or underlying dentin of a tooth may be fine, but in general it's best to have it evaluated by your dentist as many dental problems can be prevetepror more easily treated when found early. Feel better soon!

Question 5

front tooth looks like something scraped it, it's not chipped as in a peice is missing it's just scratched and noticeable, at least to me.  options?

Accepted Answer

"scraped" tooth: Did you have braces? Do you scrub your teeth vigorously--the scrape or divot in the tooth may be from some enamel that was removed when the brackets were taken off or from tooth brush abrasion.  Check with your dentist and find out your options.

Question 6

is it abnormal to have the front tooth on the roots of it to chip off? (small piece chipped off and looks a bit decayed)

Accepted Answer

Of course not: If there is a chip out of the root surface, it is either from decay, grinding your teeth either during day or night, or acid erosion.  You will want to see a dentist to help you determine the proper treatment.

Question 7

just accidentally bit a fork and believe i chipped off part of the enamel on my bottom front tooth. no pain. what am i looking am at my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: You can expect your dentist to evaluate the tooth in question and to determine what treatment, if any, needs to be performed. A simple fix can usually be accomplished at that visit.

Question 8

i have chipped my tooth that is the front tooth and don't have dental insurance so about how much would it cost to fix it and how i actually think both of the two top middle are chipped one worse than the other.

Accepted Answer

It : It is difficult to estimate a fee without seeing the teeth.  There are several ways to repair a broken tooth based on each situation and patient preference.  It would also be important to evaluate the root, the bone support and the vitality of the nerve prior to repairing them.

Question 9

how long will white filling last if front left tooth was chipped badly?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depending on how badly the tooth was chipped, a filling may not even be the best course of treatment.  If the tooth can be restored properly with a filling, the way your teeth come together will also affect how long a filling can last. Furthermore, if you grind or  clentch your teeth will also make a difference.

Question 10

my little sister has a chipped tooth in the front, is there anyhting i can do?

Accepted Answer

Yes and soon: Several questions need a reply. How old is she? How long ago did this occur? Is there any discomfort? How significant is the damage? Dental trauma is best treated as soon as possible. If she's a young child, contact a local pedodontist (children's dentist).  If an adolescent or older, a local general dentist.  Depending on the severity, it may only require bonding.  Don't wait!
