One of the most common forms of dental injury is the chipped tooth. Whether you get struck in the face, or simply bit down on the wrong item, a broken tooth can be a big problem for your oral health. You will want to bring your chipped tooth to our Lynnwood dentistry clinic as soon as you can to get it fixed.
The process of repairing a chipped tooth is going to depend on the extent of the damage. In general, so long as the sensitive pulp inside your tooth has not been damage, it’s a simple matter of rebuilding your tooth with a crown or similar structure. If the chip is deep enough to damage the pulp, however, you may need to have a root canal along with either a crown or veneer. Consult our dentist for more information.
