Question 7

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 8

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 9

a small piece of my tooth chipped off, what to do?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: See your dentist who can go over your treatment options. If it&#x27;s really a very small chip, it might be able to merely be smoothed off. Otherwise a tooth colored bonded filling would be a good choice. For larger chips, a porcelain laminate or crown might be necessary. Be careful eating very hard foods and have your dentist check your bite.

Question 10

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.
