Front teeth chipped off

2025-08-23 17:20:22
One of my lower front teeth chipped last year while nail bitting and I got the rough surface of the brocken area polished by visiting a dentist. I didn't do filling since it was chipped off at the backside of the teeth.Today while eating some hard food,another teeth near to the previous one also got chipped off. I'm concerned why it is getting chipped off.Is there any chance of disease or so.e kind of deficiency? Looking forward for expert opiniions.Thanks in advance.

This can happen due to various reasons. You could have a decay already, weakend enamel which usually happens in fluorosis that is again depending on your water source or genetic predisposition, Due to forceful biting, You should get it examined once , if required post clinical examination we can advise appropriately that if you need some treatment or it can be left like this also how to prevent further chipping.

Sometimes it may be due to calcium deficiency too .However if you have attrited tooth ( worn out tooth structure) due to any means , it is more prone to get chipped off .You may visit a dentist and get it checked.

as you didn't get the first broken tooth properly treated , uneven pressure in the front adjacent tooth lead to the chipping .

Hi! It’s better to get an OPG done to check the extent. If it’s a minor chip, filling/bonding can fix it. If the fracture is deeper, RCT with crown may be needed. Avoid hard foods and nail biting meanwhile.

It could be due to various reasons... Like calcium deficiency, attrition, trauma from occlusion. Need to rule out the main cause and then head for the treatment.
