Question 1

Question 2

will it hurt to get your chipped tooth fix?

Accepted Answer

Chipped tooth: Regardless of how big the chip, or the procedure necessary to restore it, your dentist should be able to make this a painless process. Be sure to share your concerns with them before they begin treatment.

Question 3

how much time does it take to get a chipped tooth fixed?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

help please? how long does it take to get a chipped tooth fixed?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: It all depends on how extensive the chip is, does it involve a significant portion of the tooth, or is it just a small portion of the tooth.  Dentists also vary greatly in the speed at which we practice.  Some are very fast and others are slower.  Call a dentist to have this evaluated and then ask the time frame and the fee to be charged.

Question 5

is it possible to get a crown for a chipped tooth?

Accepted Answer

Usually: All depends on the amount of tooth remaining to support the crown. If there is not much, there are things we can do to expose more of the covered  part of the tooth so we can use it.

Question 6

evry month or 2 i get 2 uclers on same spot on tongue.no chipped tooth there.i know i shuld c a doct.but wut r the posible causes?

Accepted Answer

See Dentist: Recurring lesions are not normal.  It would take more than 400 characters to list all the possibilities, most benign, but some not so.  Don't be foolish.  Take what you call "ulcers" into your Dentist or an Oral Surgeon and take advantage of their years of training and experience.  Self-diagnosis is at best dangerous.

Question 7

i have a half chipped tooth. my dentist told me to use braces but i couldn't afford it. i get a lot of headaches sometimes. i've had it since i was 12?

Accepted Answer

Bad bite / TMJ?: A chipped tooth can be a result of decay, biting into something hard (hard candy/ chewing ice) night grinding or a by product of a poor bite. Your headaches can be bite related as well.  If you have been suffering lots if headaches since you were twelve and your dentist suggested orthodontics (but money is an issue) find a dental school or ortho graduate program that will do it at a reduced fee.

Question 8

i would like to get braces or invisalign for an overbite. i have a cap on one of my front teeth covering a chipped tooth. can i still get braces?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Porcelain bonding system have steadily improved over the years and this today is not a problem.

Question 9

how to fix a chipped tooth?

Accepted Answer

Chipped tooth: The answer depends upon how much tooth is chipped and where it is located. .If it's a front tooth and the chip is small a tooth colored material can be bonded to restore it. If it is more substantial then a veneer or crown may be necessary.
If it's a back tooth, and it is only a small chip, then a bonded tooth colored filling may suffice. If it is larger, then a bonded onlay or crown may be needed.

Question 10

could a chipped tooth fall out overnight ?

Accepted Answer

No: Are you asking if the tooth itself or the chip?  It's extremely rare for a non-loose tooth to suddenly fall out.  If the tooth is chipped and part of the chip is loose and attached by the gums, then it is possible for that part of the tooth to fall out.  See a dentist to have the tooth evaluated and treated.
