FAQs
What should I do immediately after chipping a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water to keep the area clean, and apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling. Avoid biting on the affected tooth until you come to visit our office.
Can a small chip cause serious issues?
Even a small chip can weaken the tooth, making it more prone to further damage or decay. It’s best to have it evaluated and repaired to avoid additional problems.
How can I prevent chipped or cracked teeth?
Good oral care, avoiding hard foods, and wearing a mouthguard during sports or if you grind your teeth at night are all effective ways to prevent damage.
Will my chipped tooth look normal after treatment?
Yes, our team uses advanced, tooth-colored materials designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both form and function.
Can a chipped tooth be treated in one visit?
Most chipped or minorly cracked teeth can be treated in a single visit, depending on the extent of the damage and the treatment option chosen.
What happens if I leave a chipped tooth untreated?
Untreated chips or cracks can worsen over time, leading to sensitivity, decay, or even infection in severe cases. Early treatment ensures your tooth stays healthy and strong.
