A chipped tooth can be a very serious complication in dental health, and can lead to very serious complications in the long term. That being said, its a very common dental injury, maybe the most common, and your dentist will be able to quickly make recommendations to accommodate the issue.
What causes a chipped tooth?
* Disease- Gum disease in the root of your teeth may be weakening underlying support structures. The result is a breakage within the dentin and enamel inside your tooth, which leads to a chip.
* Damage- Whether from disease, hard food, or a recent trauma, there may simply be physical damage to the tooth.
What should you do if you experience a chipped tooth?
Afterwards you can have an examination, where your dentist will identify whether the chip is due to disease, infection, or bad luck. Afterwards, you can discus what repair options are the best alternative for your situation and budget.
