I bit down on a fork very hard by accident, creating cracks in my two front teeth as seen in these photos. They were not cracked off but my dentist said she could see the cracks from the back side starting to come through. She was very rude and dismissive so now I am worried, was shaving them and getting veneers seemingly necessary?
