I chipped my tooth by biting down on a core of a peach xD. A tiny bit of the tooth came out it doesn't hurt at all unless i put my nail in the space or if i put pressure to the right. even with that its not very painful. Will the enamel grow back? Also its one of the bottom teeth

Enamel doesn't grow back. If you go to the dentist they can either file it down level (doesn't hurt at all), or if the root is exposed they can put acrylic on it to protect it.

It wont grow back but the dentist will fill it up with something that looks like it (white) so it will match. It's not painful. My teeth chipped and broke all the time when I was pregnant so I had a lot fixed. It's not bad at all!

No, the enamel will not grow back. You will need to see a dentist to get it fixed.

Well I think you should see a dentist, usually it can be re shaped and fixed however, there is always a change of a fracture that is why is important to see your dentist and make sure no further damage was done.

Enamel doesn't grow back. Depending what tooth it is.. either just a filling can be done, which can either be composite (tooth colored) or amalgam (silver), or you may have to have a crown.

It won't grow back. You have to go and have it fixed.
