Question 5

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.

Question 6

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 7

can a chipped tooth cause my tooth to turn black?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: The trauma that cause the chip in your tooth could have damaged the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth. As the tissue in the tooth dies, it will literally stain your tooth from the inside out giving it a dark brown or blackish color. The tooth should probably be treated with endodontic therapy as soon as possible before  the infection spreads. Please go to your dentist.

Question 8

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 9

Depends: How deep the cavity is and how large the chip is. It may be as easy as a simple filling, or as complex as root canal therapy and a crown. As the dentist who will be treating you what treatment you need for that tooth.
