Is a Chipped Tooth a Dental Emergency? There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer, which is why it’s so important that you assess your symptoms. If you’re in pain, then your chipped tooth absolutely warrants a same-day visit to our office. If you aren’t, then you should be okay waiting a day or two for an exam.

How You Should Handle a Chipped Tooth After rinsing your mouth thoroughly with clean, room-temperature water, place some sugar-free gum over your tooth to cover the sharp edge. It goes without saying that you should avoid crunchy, hard, and sticky foods in the meantime as well.

How We Treat Chipped Teeth The treatment we recommend will depend on a few key factors, including the size of the chip and the location of the tooth. We will work with you to determine the best option so that you feel fully confident in your treatment plan.
