Don’t Chip Your Teeth! (But If You Do…)

Of course, what we would prefer is to help you avoid accidentally experiencing a chipped tooth. When you sidestep the possibility of a tooth chip, you keep your smile just as it is. There’s no need to come in, to consider treatments, or to decide what to do. You save a bit of money, too. However, if you end up chipping dental tissue, keep in mind that the inconvenience is minor and that we can fix the issue right up with gorgeous results. Let’s walk you through all you need to know to avoid (or repair) this little concern.

How To Avoid It Altogether

If you don’t want chips, then chances are good that you can get through your daily life without accidentally creating any. So, what’s on the list when your goal is to keep teeth the solid, uniform structures they currently are? Think about the following:

  • Don’t bite into something that isn’t going to give way quickly or you might end up with a chipped tooth
  • Don’t carry things with your teeth
  • Don’t use your teeth to cut or tear things open (use scissors instead)
  • Don’t bite your fingernails or chew on objects that are not edible, such as pens
  • Don’t make ice a snack
  • Wear a mouthguard when participating in sports
