Are you worried about that ??

Teeth are one of the most important factors in our daily life. Mouth trauma can cause many problems from a chipped tooth to a tooth that is completely knocked out or broken off. The chipped tooth can be treated, but treatment will vary depending on how badly the tooth was damaged.

Different kinds of chipped teeth which make you suffer:

If the tooth is minimally damaged, with little or no pain, and no root damage, the treatment may be as easy doing nothing or simply smoothing the tooth. Most often, minor chips are fixed with composite or bonding porcelain veneers applied directly to the tooth. This gives the tooth a smooth and natural appearance.

If the tooth is badly chipped, with pain when chewing or drinking, or there is root damage, a crown may be used to fix it. The crown covers the chipped tooth and protects it while improving the appearance at the same time. Veneers, crowns, and fillings can all be made to color match surrounding teeth. If a filling, crown, or veneer should become chipped, it too would need to be checked and repaired.

In the event that a chipped tooth turns out to be very badly damaged, such as root or nerve damage, it may be necessary to perform root canal therapy to save the tooth or worse case scenario, extract the tooth and replace it with a dental implant.
