Chipped-Tooth
A chipped tooth can range from a minor scratch to a substantial tooth loss. At times, the tooth becomes broken or chipped due to the dental injury caused by a hard blow, fall or accident, excessive wear and tear, etc. Various other conditions can cause chipped teeth, such as tooth decay, cavity, teeth grinding, large fillings, excessive use of acidic products, bacteria in the mouth, weak enamel, and more.
A chipped tooth can be very painful. There is no discomfort or pain if there is damage in only the enamel. But if the chip is inside the tooth to the nerve, it may cause severe pain. You can always have your chipped tooth restored. Some people think that a chipped tooth may not harm their oral health, and hence, they do not get it treated. But you should not ignore it because a chipped tooth often leads to further damage and infection.
Book an appointment with Franklin Bright Smiles as soon as possible to avoid the spread of infection and seek treatment.
