tell your parents when they come home, stop freaking out

Hi dont worry , the white chippings you seen is just the enamel off your tooth - the worst that can happen is you may get slight sensitivity from that tooth but this is somthing easily fixed by your dentist - he will either use a sealant or a white filling - what i suggest id to make an appointment with your dentist -but dont worry your tooth want come out -hope i have helped

id be scared too! Listen, im sure its not that big of a deal, but i think the first thing you should do is get a dentist to look at it. If he doesn't think its a real big problem, but you still aren't sure- theres always the option of a cap on it. I heard about these awsome things called lumineers...there a TOTALLY PAINLESS WAY TO cover up things like that. all they really are anadhesive veneer that the dentist glues to your tooth. The dentist doesn't have to give you needles or sand down your tooth or anything!
You can check out the website at www.lumineers.com
GOOD LUCK!

I would say not too worry as well. You said it's just a little slanted. So it must be a piece of cracked enamel. Go to see your dentist and it could be fixed by composite filling (tooth-color dental filling). I'm just a bit concerned about any crack lines on this tooth. Hopefully, it was just minor trauma.

Put some ice cubes in a ziplock storage bag, wrap a washcloth around the bag and hold it gently against the outside of your mouth over the tooth. Don't play with the tooth with your tongue or move it with your fingers. Just leave it alone. Sit quietly until your parents get home and tell them what happened. They'll deal with it.

Yeah, he probably chipped your tooth a little bit. It's no big deal if you can barely see it. Don't do anything for now. If it starts to hurt, you will need an x-ray from the dentist to see if there is more damage under the bone, but I doubt it.

do not situation. Tampons do not damage in any respect, and besides, you're the single putting it in, and also you'll end or take it out whenever you experience like it. in my opinion, i imagine they're more effective than pads. After some circumstances wearing them, you gained't observe them there in any respect! =] that is like you do not have your era. :P because you're basically starting up nonetheless, attempt to get a smaller type of tampon, a low absorbancy one. bear in mind nonetheless: do not go away it on for more effective than 8 hours. ought to reason TSS, poisonous wonder Syndrome, notwithstanding that is uncommon. and that i puzzled about this question before: if the tampon receives lost in there someway? notwithstanding the reply is not any, because it is going to grip and no count number the way you pass or some thing, it is going to not in any respect wander away. And ultimately, it really is basically my opinion, yet Playtex is my sought after.

i honestly dont know...i would check and make sure the tooth is set in a good position, because if its in a bad position, you might need to go to the doctor before it sets or else its going to hurt worse...but as for the white flakes, i guess thats what it is, its probably just something on your tooth, or it could be the enamel, i would let your parents check it out.

if it doesnt hurt and it isnt bleeding then i think its ok but ask ur parents just in case sometimes it looks like ur tooth is out of place when it really isnt (maybe the white falling off wasnt your tooth)

It sounds like he chipped on of your teeth. Knocking it with his elbow would definately make it hurt, but It doesn't sound like you have root damage. A dentist will fix it with special stuff.

I don't think there is nothing seriously wrong with you but just in case, tell your mom to take a look at it when she comes in. after all, mother's know best! (if i was you my brother would be getting the beat down of his life!)
