How could I fix the scratch on my front tooth?

Question

I have what looks to be a scratch on my right front tooth. It's not that visible but knowing that's there scares me. I have some irritation and discomfort. But I think the knowledge of it's there has me on edge. Will it repair over time? Will other people judge me for it? How can I fix it?

1)Will it repair over time ?By itself, No.. but it depends on how deep the scratch is, if not to deep ( which it seems to be from your comment "not that visible" it can easily be bonded by a tooth colored bonding material (filling),2) Will other people judge you for it?It depends on how visible it is and if you are in a job/profession that requires your smile to be perfect...May be.. More important is, are you OK with it ?3) How to fix it?I think I already answered that .. but I recommend that you see a good reputable dentist , to give you a better assesment. Good Luck..

Hi,Sometimes there are presence of scratch lines even in normal teeth and they need not be touched. If the scratch is esthetically compromising your look or you want it removed then a basic ceramic veneer will help. Regards
