Anything we do about our teeth, even adopting best of hygiene practices
, still we cant prevent any accidental damage to our teeth Most of the teeth which are damaged cause pain which becomes quite unbearable to the patient. Generally these type of problems call for the dentists advice.
If you possess a tooth which has due to some accident lost some of its part or original structure, then you have a chipped tooth. A person may have chipped tooth due to playing sports, having a fast style while driving, during a fight or may have met with some accident. In majority of cases the chipped tooth does not cause pain and will not become a too serious problem and in some other cases a person may not be aware of this problem until he experiences a severe pain while drinking some cold drink or chewing something.
If you possess a chipped tooth you must consult your dentist. He is the only expert who can tell you the best remedy and as to how this tooth can be repaired or made better. The treatment would vary and would depend on the extent of damage which has occurred.
A chipped tooth can sometimes have very less damage. If this is the reason for your visit, then doctor can simply smooth that out with a proper tool as there is no need for any special treatment for this little damage.
On the other hand if your tooth gets severely damaged, and you feel the pain frequently, then you would need to crown your teeth. This crown is a cap which not only covers the teeth and protects it from any further damage but also gives your face and teeth an aesthetic look. Some badly chipped teeth may not be treated with crowns and these are then simply filled in with the material made of same color for pleasant appearance.
