🚨 Chipped a Tooth? Here’s What to Do! 🦷

Chipping a tooth can be unsettling, but don’t panic—most cases are treatable! Here’s what to do if it happens to you:

Step 1: Stay Calm & Assess

  • Minor chip? Feels rough but no pain.
  • Moderate chip? Sensitivity to hot/cold.
  • Severe chip? Pain & possible nerve exposure—seek urgent care!

Step 2: Rinse Your Mouth
Use warm water to clean the area & locate the broken piece if possible.

Step 3: Protect Your Mouth

  • Cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum.
  • Take pain relievers & apply a cold compress if needed.

Step 4: Call Your Dentist ASAP!
Even small chips can lead to bigger problems like sensitivity, decay, or infection. Your dentist may recommend bonding, veneers, crowns, or other treatments based on severity.

💡 Pro Tip: Prevent Future Chips!
✔️ Avoid biting hard objects
✔️ Wear a mouthguard for sports
✔️ Keep up with regular dental visits
