I chipped my tooth today on a fork, and cannot get to a dentist for a few weeks as I am overy seas. I'm very paranoid now that I am going to further damage my tooth.

Answer: Small chip in front tooth Hi from New York! The chip is extremely small and it probably seems like it is huge to you when you run your tongue over it! It is seems large. I would recommend you do not chew on ice or open up bottle tops with your front teeth but otherwise just take care of it at your next dental visit. They can smooth this out for you! No worries...be happy!

Answer: Chipped tooth It is unfortunate that you chipped your tooth. It may bother your tongue or lip, as it appears to be sharp. You may have some continued chipping, but only a small amount. When you get to a dentist, he or she can smooth it out. What we do is bond in some filling material to the chipped area and smooth it up quite well. This tends to stop the chipping, relieve the tongue and lip rubbing on it, and usually holds up for a while.Hope that allows you to enjoy your trip!
