The cause?: Unfortunately it's impossible to explain the cause of what you describe, sight unseen. There could be any number of reasons for this. Merely giving you some educated guesses will not really be helpful. Don't worry...merely see your own dentist for an accurate diagnosis and recommendations for treatment.

See dentist: You don't say which tooth it is. You should have your tooth checked by your dentist . You might have an occlusion problem; that is how your top and bottom teeth meet. Have your dentist evaluate your bite.

Chipped Tooth: The damage might not show right away. If you’re lucky, only a small Thin tooth layer came off. Usually that can be repaired in one visit by your dentist. Visit your dentist ASAP.
