Symptom Breakdown
What you feel
A sharp, jagged edge on a tooth, usually a front incisor. It may cause mild temperature sensitivity or mechanically irritate your tongue and inner lips.
Why it happens
Biting down on unusually hard objects (ice, hard candy, seeds), accidental facial trauma, underlying enamel weakness due to large hidden decay, or chronic teeth grinding (bruxism).
Clinical Advice
- If you locate the chipped piece, keep it moist in milk and bring it with you.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further fracture.
- Cover sharp, cutting edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum to protect soft tissues.
Treatment Note
Cosmetic composite bonding for minor chips, porcelain veneers for moderate aesthetic damage, or a dental crown if the structural integrity is compromised.
