Teeth chipping near gums 3 months after an extraction. is it related and can my teeth be saved?

Probably not related, and they probably can be saved. Let your dentist examine your teeth.

Teeth chipping near gum line may be cavities or abfractions, damage caused by improper occlusion, which in turn may be caused by teeth shifting because the extracted tooth was not replaced post-extraction. Please see your Dentist to evaluate for both cavities and bite collapse.
