Asked By:BRTJJ in Litchfield Park, AZ

I have been homeless on and off for a few years which is when my teeth started taking a turn for the worse, I drink soda (mostly diet) and I haven't been to a dentist in 10years. I am wondering if my teeth are save able and around how much it would cost.

I chipped my tooth by my gumline. How severe is it? What is best the treatment for it and how much is it typically? (Photo)
Sam S. Sadati, DDS, FAGD says:

It appears that part of the tartar build up on your tooth chipped of and not the tooth itself. You would need to visit a dentist for evaluating the condition of your gum and bone and prescribing the right type of hygiene treatment.

Should I be worried about when a tiny piece of my molar chipped off? (Photos)
Sam S. Sadati, DDS, FAGD says:

If that is the only chip you ever had and it does not hurt you then it is probably OK but it is always a good idea to check with your dentist to make sure that you do not have any underlying issue such as grinding or clinching.
