What causes chipped or cracked teeth
Chipped or cracked teeth can be caused by a variety of factors:
- Trauma or injury to the mouth
- Clenching or grinding (bruxism)
- Chewing hard foods or objects
- Tooth decay or cavities
- Worn or damaged dental work
- Weak or brittle teeth due to age, genetics, or certain medical conditions
- Malocclusion (an improper bite)
- Using teeth as tools to open packages or bottles
- Erosion from highly acidic foods and beverages
Regardless of the cause, our team is here to help you find the right treatment and restore the function and beauty of your smile.
The risks of ignoring a chipped tooth
A chipped tooth is like a crack in a windshield — it might start small, but without proper care, it can spread and cause serious damage.
Ignoring a chipped tooth can lead to:
- Increased sensitivity or pain as the inner layers of the tooth become exposed
- Tooth decay, because cracks create hiding spots for bacteria
- Further breakage as the weakened structure becomes more vulnerable
- Gum irritation or infection from sharp edges rubbing against soft tissues
When a tooth is damaged, it can also throw off your entire bite, leading to discomfort and jaw problems. We’re here to help you avoid those issues.
