A chipped or broken tooth may seem minor, but it can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, and long-term dental problems if not treated quickly. Whether it’s caused by an accidental fall or biting down on something hard, early care is essential.

What Causes a Chipped Tooth?

A tooth can chip due to many common reasons:

Sudden trauma or accidents

Biting into hard substances like ice or candies

Tooth decay weakening the enamel

Teeth grinding (bruxism), especially during sleep

Enamel erosion due to acidic foods or poor oral care

Old fillings or restorations that weaken the structure
