Tiny chip in front tooth, is it a problem?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Chipped tooth: A small chip in a front tooth is not a major concern. The edges of the front teeth frequently are accidently banged against hard structure--a bottle neck, a fist, a friend's head, or a another tooth and the enamel can chip. A small chip may not be visibly noticeable. Visit your dentist and ask hi/her to smooth the chip if it is bothering your tongue.

Probably not: If you bumped it on something. If there is persistent discomfort see dentist. If tooth grinding caused it, see dentist for night guard.

Could be: see a dentist for an exam and evaluation/ Sometimes a small chip can be smoothed if not cosmetically noticable
