My teeth keep chipping and I I don't know what to do! (photo)

Question

Okay so, around summer this year the bottom of my canine tooth and the tooth under it chipped and the dentist said it would be fine so I didn't bother about it but since the the the side of my front tooth chipped when I accidentally hit my tooth brush against it, the it also a small chip on the bottom, they is not a larger gap at the bottom of my two front teeth and it is just upsetting me so much because I had really good, healthy teeth and now they are chipping away, I am only 16.

I would consider visiting an orthodontist to have your bite evaluated and see if braces are needed. Your front teeth appear fairly straight but may not be giving your teeth the correct guidance they need to keep from chipping.

A very common reason the teeth could be chipping is because you are grinding your teeth. The pressure of this subconscious behavior weakens and can destroy parts of the teeth. In this case the recommended treatment would to get a NightGard through your dental office.
