Cracked and Chipped TeethTeeth

Cracked and chipped teeth can occur from biting hard foods, grinding your teeth, or experiencing an injury to the mouth. Even minor chips can expose the sensitive layers beneath the enamel, leading to pain, temperature sensitivity, and a higher risk of infection. Prompt evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent further damage and protect your natural tooth structure.
