Baby Dental – Fixing a Chip Tooth
The different ways a chip tooth can be fixed.
If you have a chipped tooth, treatment for it will depend on the size and severity of the chip. If the chip in the tooth is very small the a dental professional may be able to simple smooth and polish the chipped tooth. Where as if it is a medium size chip involving minor damage to the tooth enamel, there are a few options available such as filling, bonding, veneer and or crown. For a large size chip that exposes the tooth nerve you more then likely will need to have a root canal done to remove the damaged nerve, plus a crown to replace the chipped tooth.
