How serious is a chipped tooth?

Question

My little brother chipped 3 of his teeth, one of which was his front tooth. How serious are these injuries? And how can they be repaired? And what's the estimate cost?

Answer 1

He can get fillings, and when hes an adult or close, he can get veneers which is more permanent. It should cost around 100+.

with fillings he cant bite anyhing hard, or else they will come off, but it doesnt come off too easily. Just no biting into chewy candies, apples, etc.

Answer 2

A chipped teeth isn't as undesirable as a cracked teeth...tooth will probable get floor down with use and by no skill be said. in the journey that your dogs doesn't word some thing incorrect, you probable do not might want to rigidity about it. If he's due for a nicely-puppy appointment interior the close to destiny, only ask your vet to study tooth to make confident it really is okay. better of luck!

Answer 3

depending on how bad their chipped will decide the pain, repair and cost. PAIN, the more a tooth is chipped the more sensitive they are to cold, sweet, heat, and stuff like that which makes it hard to eat. REPAIR veries from little feels with are called composits, wich have to be replaced time to time because they get old but this takes years. the worst is they removed the chipped tooth and put in a fake one, this has to be bad. COST because you said three your lookin from 200 to 900+ for fake ones. hgope this helped.

Answer 4

A chipped tooth may be able to be bonded. No injections required. As far as cost I have no idea. Maybe dentists set their own prices. Even teeth that have seperations between them can be bonded to take the look away.

Answer 5

First, is he in any pain? Second, how old is he and are they baby teeth? As a child under 6 I had several chipped teeth that eventually fell out for whole adult teeth. Can he eat ok with the teeth in that condition, do they irritate his tongue or the inside of his mouth? As for cost, I am unsure, but if your famliy is in need there are programs out there that can help. First thing tho is to determine if he is in any pain and can't eat properly. Best of luck to you and him also.

Answer 6

they are serious but it is nothing cosmetic dentistry can't fix. He will probably have to get either crowns or laminates put in. The laminates will be more expensive but will look nicer.

It all depends on the dentist you go to, the metal used in the crowns and where you live for the cost of the repairs.

Answer 7

depends on his age and weather chipped teeth were the perminant or the milk teeth either way the injoury to permenant ones is more serious and more costly , but can repaired wel by experinced and specialized dentists and there should be no delay in treatment it will get more costly and less managable with delay

Answer 8

not really serious unless the nerve is damaged in which case the tooth can go grey especially in young children. otherwise just can look unattractive. if they are baby teeth then they will fall out anyway and get replaced. but you can get caps to cover them up.

Answer 9

Don't worry! Get a dentist appointment and he will shave the chipped part off. It's no big deal, it happens to a lot of people!
