Talking about the Chipped Tooth, one should understand that the outer covering of hard Enamel is now exposed

off and the bacteria can gain access to all the underlying tissues. Another thought can be there that the tooth has

got chipped off because of the underlying dental caries. So, proper treatment should be taken into consideration

for the Chipped Tooth.

Reasons of having Chipped Tooth

  • Biting on hard substance or food.
  • Accidental falling.
  • Accidental hitting of teeth.
  • Weaken tooth structure due to caries.

On having the Chipped Tooth, patient may feel  pain. But the chipped part always remains sharp and due to that the tongue can get hurt as it makes contact with the tooth a number of times. When the patient feels sensitivity to hot and cold then it should be counted that dentin has been exposed along with the chipping off of enamel. Patient may feel pain in this case when the tooth bites on something or with any change of temperature.
