This video was so informative. I liked the way you explained all procedures and treatment options. Thank you for making this video.

I chipped a tooth, wondering you could tell me how much it would cost to heal. I don’t know how to contact you?

Very thorough and informative! Thanks

Thanks for the video! I am from Singapore. I chipped my tooth after biting a fork by accident. Was freaking out if, it will never be fixed. Had contacted my dentist to make an appointment.

I have a chipped tooth since I was a kid and I didn't really care about it because I wasn't a kid that worries alot, but now I'm trying to live my life with this chipped tooth and I'm really tired of people in the university always commenting about my tooth and telling me how ugly my smile is. 😔

Thanks so much doc. This helped me. I was on vacation enjoying corn and roasted chicken..all of a sudden I had a chipped tooth.. I worry alot about dentist visit. It's scary. So thanks for this information.

I just chipped my tooth this weekend and I’m feeling horrible and anxious about it.

Compulsive ice chewing can be a sign of anemia so if you have patients that chew ice, have them see their primary care doctor for a simple blood test.

When I was 11 years old I chipped my front tooth on the seesaw when I fell forward. The very next day my mother took me to our dentist and I am guessing they did the white composite bc u literally cannot tell my tooth was ever chipped in half. It looks natural, same coloring as my teeth, and I literally can eat hard things like its not gonna fall out and I have had it for 10 years now.

oh....you are in Henderson !!! I just moved from Vegas area :( and I used to drive to LA just to see my dentist! I will save your info!

When I was 19 I chipped my front tooth because I had really bad drug habits and it didn’t help that I started smoking cigarettes at early age, didn’t look good but it wasnt terrible, you had to get close to notice, fast forward to December 2022 I’m over at a concert getting litt and some girl in front of me hit my maxilla so hard with her head it chipped it again but now that shit looks so bad since I have developed a cavity over the years so it’s black 💀😭😭😭😭 I was making good money till I crashed my whip and started my 4th college semester, I’m just now recovering from that, once I get my money up again Ima get it fixed hopefully.

Thank you for sharing this info. It is very helpful as I have 2 chipped teeth.

Amazingly timely and helpful! I'm subscribing for sure!

I chipped a little part of my tooth where you can’t even see it from looking at me but I cried all last night

Got my chipped tooth fixed a week ago. Thanks so much for your video. In Israel the filling was about 100 USD to repair and 30 minutes minus wait time. PS my dentist said popcorn is the most common by far. My fail point was organic granola. Ow.

I have a diabetic insulin pump and it was on my pocket… I was in the trampoline and the pump fell out my pocket and the tube bounced up make the pump good my front tooth

Thank you for the information

None of my teeth have been chipped luckily, but they have been wearing down in the front. My new dentist(s) have been monitoring them to make sure they don't get any worse.

I chipped my tooth by chewing my nails☠️

I chipped my front tooth & my dentist bonded it 2 times. Now I am going back next Monday to have it bonded a 3rd time. If I do need a crown down the road he suggested crowning all 4 of my teeth surrounding the front tooth to get a better cosmetic look. They must have trouble making a crown the exact color. This seems aggressive to me!! Your thoughts?

Question if you chip your tooth with a toothpick how can you fix it even though it's kind of broken and as well like you just set under I live in Puerto Rico so I'm asking a question

My front, top tooth chipped in the middle, right in the center of the tooth. It is just the enamel layer. Should I just get the composite bonding?

Thank you for some real content!

And the number one way teeth are chipped.... "You get Drunk and fall down." Loved the video content. Great delivery. Thank You.

I do have a really bad chipped tooth it's the the back of my mouth But my question is do my back teeth grown back because my baby teeth have just came out in the front I'm not sure?

Man I’m sixteen and one day I woke up and my tooth is cracked and was hurting bad and I don’t have insurance or money to get it fixed 😭

I laughed at your comparison of costs in San Francisco vs. a "rural" area!! You showed a picture of downtown Telluride, Colorado- a VERY expensive place for anything! LOL!!!

I felt personally attacked when she gave the first reason "you get drunk and fall and chip a tooth" lmaooo

I was throwing my phone up in the sky it came back down in hit me in the tooth and knocked half out I found it funny but its kinda hurting now 😂😂

I got drunk and I fell and chipped my tooth 😭🔥 She nailed it exactly

my molar split in half and i really appreciate this video!

Thank you for the info!

I chipped my front incisor like a year ago and I hate it. I bit a keychain to try to fix the ring. I instantly regret it tho

Great video and useful tips, many thanks

I got 1 of my front tooth chipped 2 yrs back but didn't went to any dentist to fix it because of my anxiety, but i am planning on getting it checked after the lockdown is over ....what procedures would be done to the chipped tooth now that its dead??

thank you, doctor

Wait, it's possible to fill the tip of a tooth? Several years ago when I'd asked a dentist about some little nicks in my front teeth from chewing on my lips, they said that fillings would just fall out if they tried. Can you chew on a surface that has been repaired that way? A few days ago, I went to a dentist for an exam, mentioned some areas I wanted him to look closer at (since I hadn't been able to finish my last round of fillings and things from last time and wasn't sure how bad they'd gotten in six months), and when I mentioned a filling I had been told to redo (yet again), and he said he didn't see a reason for redoing it, and I said that was odd because food has been getting stuck in some kind of hole there lately, and the edge of the filling still gets caught on floss sometimes and I can even feel that slight pointy area with my tongue, he acted like he'd look to see if he could find that little place, but he instead turned on one of the drill things and loped off part of the tooth (though he didn't go deep enough to reach the filling). I knew he was acting a tad irritable throughout the appointment, but it wasn't until after that point, that he said I didn't have an appointment for an exam (even though I did make one three weeks previously on the phone, and no one said anything about some kind of mix-up when I came in). It's one of the molars, and he made mesa's out of the interior points. I think that spot may be the main chewing surface I have on that side of my mouth (and I've been avoiding chewing on the other side of my mouth for the past two years because the opposite tooth there needed a root canal treatment and crown ...which I'm trying to get finished). There's been twice so far, in the past three or four days, that I would feel a little jolt of pain when first starting to chew on something, but it usually doesn't do that. I'm not sure what to do, or even if the damage is as bad as I'm imagining. He's also the dentist that I have to see to finish the root canal treatment and crown, and he acted like he was doing me a big favor by making an appointment for me in two weeks to redo the exam better. But I'm not sure I trust him not to get upset with me if I ask him about the tooth he tore up. And if he already told me that I don't have to have anything done besides finishing the crown, then would he tell me anything different in two weeks? Last time a dentist told me I didn't have any sign of cavities, the next time I came in I needed four or five fillings and had a cavity so deep I needed a root canal treatment (and there I thought cutting back on sugar and eating more produce would be healthy). Of course I'd had no idea, since my teeth apparently only hurt if nothing is wrong with them. ...I'm sorry. I've just kind of freaking out right now.

I knew it. I was eating 🍿 and the next afternoon I realized the cracked tooth but it's only a small one. I'm not in any pain in the🦷 I'm keeping it clean and waiting for my dentist appointment in December

I have a small chip and my dentist will add some products, my question is if it breaks will it break more than it was before getting fixed or just the product will fall off

Hey Dr Tozzi, thanks for the upload. I have a chipped tooth on my left incisor at the bottom and it has been fixed with composite that never seems to stay put. Unfortunately when I work out, I clench my teeth when lifting. Just had it fixed a day ago and it came off. My question is, for someone like me who tends to clench their teeth, what is a more stable option? I know that I should have worn a mouth guard, but tend to forget. Thanks for any help!

My dentist chipped one of my canines and now I’m on a video binge on fixing it so I don’t freak out 😭

i was trying to bite out those flat lego pieces and my front tooth chipped

I was playing with my little brother, and then he accidentally hit his teeth against the sink, chipping part of both of his front teeth

i chipped the entire sharp tip of my canine off lmao. i would just live with it if my nerve wasn’t exposed. i’m calling the dentist tomorrow. i didn’t know it was chipped before i looked in the mirror, just knew my tooth hurt

When I was a like 8-9 year old I rand into a walk full speed and chipped the lower corner of my front tooth it was hard to notice wit you weren’t looking at it close up but eventually it grew back some how after like 8 weeks still don’t know till this day

helpful video, back molar deep chip wondering if another method other than a crown but does not look like another option. Do think I will get a second opinion then may get a different cost, thanks for that suggestion

Could you inform me more on worn and chipped molar tooth ( from inside out i.e. facing/touching tooth to tooth side and NOT the tongue or face side ? :)

I was doing a patrol at work a couple nights ago and I was talking to someone. I literally felt my tooth come off like just a TINY piece. But when I have my mouth closed it literally feels like my molar tooth is cutting my tongue.

I chipped my back tooth 🦷 , like just a piece of it. Eating fried pork skin 🥺😱🥶🤯 What would be the cost.

Is it okay to leave a broken tooth as it is? I had fallen down and broken my tooth 8 years ago. Do I need to get it fixed? Or is it okay to leave it as it is?

Hello I’m 11 and I have one and I have dental anxiety. How can I do this at home?

My front tooth is broke almost to the gum line. All my local dentist want to do an implant or give me a partial. I cant afford the places in my area. I have bad teeth anyways. Just started major pain from an exposed nerve 2 days ago. Not having dental insurance makes my choices very limited

Can I send you a pic of my teeth so u can see if it’s a chipped tooth. I think I lost a bit of the anamal.

I am not going to tell my parents because I will be in very big trouble, but I chipped a tiny piece of my teeth by biting the metal part that you use to open a can.

How long do bondings last?

Thank you, Dr. Michaela Tozzi, for your clear explanation. My young cousin chipped his tooth when he was 15 years old after colliding with a playmate. He had it fixed with dental bonding, but now, after about 10 years, it's starting to turn black. Is this normal, and can it be replaced with a new bonding?

Hi Dr I will be happy if you answer my question. I have a small chipped front teeth cause by accidental dental cleaning, I don't wanna go to composite because it's too small and I'm allergic to composite. What is the polishing about? Are you shave it to make it fit with other parts?

I was playing with my cousin sis when I was around 11 or 12 😂 I fell down and chipped the front 2 tooth a little bit in the middle

I got a couple chipped teeth due to grinding been like this for 2 years can this be fixed

My bonding keeps coming off this is the 3 time in 6 months I’m so devastated I have to keep going back to get this front tooth fixed

Do you have to fix a chipped tooth? For example, if it's a minor chip will it get worse?

One of my front teeth is thicker than the other which makes them look uneven but I just finished Invisalign and they are definitely aligned.. is there any way to safely fix this and would you recommend it? Thank you 🙏

I heard a good doctor is a doctor who makes more money from RU-vid than from office

I have a chipped tooth on my back hopefully this video helps me get my smile back #DentistPower💪

How long the #2 composite bonding does last ? My kid recently chipped his bottom of his front tooth. We did resin composite bonding there but I'm afraid if it falls off quickly. Another question is if it falls again, can we do the composite bonding continuously? Or eventually he needs something more extensive procedure? I would like to avoid the 'crown or veneer" process.

0:56. Ice se it all the time! LOL

goodevening or morning doctor , Im sorry to bother you , i just wanted to know could a dentist/profesional fix a chipped/broken tooth with the other piece of the tooth ?
