Not even the best dental hygiene practices can keep people from getting chipped teeth. Chipped teeth can happen when there’s a vitamin deficiency or the tooth/teeth experienced blunt trauma that compromised the structural integrity. Think of your teeth as a brick wall. A small crack may not be bad to look at, but it’s a sign that it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. This is where emergency dentist Calgary services come in.
Now there are several options for dentists to repair chipped teeth, all depending on the severity. There are cases where the cracks or chips can be filed or smoothened, and sometimes may need filling. Severe cases would require x-ray to determine the extent of the damage. If the chip happens on a crown, veneer, or filling, they need to be replaced as soon as possible. There is also the presence of pain when teeth are chipped, again depending on which part of the tooth is chipped off.
