SYL	Well usually they just do the same to what they do when you have a filling! Its a pretty quick process and they should have some filling stuff that matches your teeth color so wouldn't look so obvious! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

glitterbaby	I would defenitly go to the dentist. If it is hurting, even a little, you probably have an exposed nerve and it will probably just get worse. You dentist may suggest a crown or a filling depending on how bad the chip is. Worst case scenerio, root canal or extraction(pulled). I chipped one of my back teeth once. At first it didn't hurt, didn't bother me at all. Then slowly it started to because I had exposed an nerve. After a few week I was in total pain and no pain killers would work for me.

Blueberry Waffles	Not terribly urgent, I've chipped my teeth badly and gone like that for months looking like a hick before getting it fixed. If you have dental coverage though its worth gettting done even if it isnt really noticable. You notice more sensitivity to cold foods as time passes on. also, your tooth is not more brittle and vulnerable for future chips. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Prophet 1102	Up to you - live with it or have the dentist do some repair work. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

patrolgirl5	I chipped my front bottom tooth and it isn't that bad, but if i point it out to people it is noticeable. I've been dealing with it for about 4 years now, but it never really hurt. If it is hurting you, you should go to the dentist and have it filled. It's probably different everywhere but the dentist I go to said it would be about $160 to fix (even though its the smallest chip ever). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~~}H4YL3Y{~~ [RAW X-WAY]	i did this why drinking out of a glass bottle and my brother ran into me this was about 7 years ago the dentist said because it wasn't that noticeable it should be ok. When the dentist do fix chipped teeth the affect is only temporary and usually falls off within 3 weeks. Hopes this helps :=D Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
