🚨 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.
