Personally, not much: But you should call a local dentist for an appointment. The tooth may have chipped because of a cavity, and if you let it go it can turn into more extensive care, including root canal therapy and a crown. Make that call....

Chipped tooth: You should see Adventist about your chips tooth. If it is a small chop the reshaping or bonding can be done. For a bigger chip you may need amore extensive treatment. Such as a crown or root canal

Chipped tooth: A chipped tooth can often times be repaired with simple composite tooth bonding restoration. This is predictable, durable and less invasive treatment. It is important to preserve as much tooth structure as possible. Call a dentist for consultation.

Chipped tooth: See a dentist to determine your options and what treatment is best for you. The chip may be a result of a bite problem, excessive stress on the tooth, underlying caries or unsupported tooth structure from a previous filling. Treatment may be as simple as a tooth colored composite filling or may require a more extensive restoration as a veneer or crown. First step: call for an appointment.

See a dentist: Treatment for a broken or chipped tooth will depend on how severely it is damaged. See your dentist for evaluation, x-ray and treatment. Do not procrastinate.
