A chipped tooth can be caused by demineralization or trauma. Depending on the size of the chip, resin restoration or veneer restoration may be considered.
When there is a loss of tooth tissue, usually after surface decay removal, resin bonding can be used to repair the shape of the tooth for small defects, and if there is too much loss of tooth tissue, veneers or partial crowns can be considered for restoration.
If the chip is deep, it may cause pulp inflammation and pain to external hot and cold stimuli, and after examination, root canal treatment is also needed.
It is recommended that you seek medical attention in time to avoid the defect from increasing and affecting your dental health.
