Causes of Chipped Tooth 

Bruxism And Its Cure

Parents are notorious for reminding their children that they only have one pair of eyes and one set of adult teeth.

Teeth become damaged for different reasons.
In order to better cope with teeth grinding you may try some relaxation techniques and see how you sleep afterwards; yoga and breathing exercises could be of real help. Don't rush to administrate any drugs since teeth grinding could be dealt with otherwise too, and in far more natural ways. Have a look on the Internet, or talk to a therapist about the best ways to induce a relaxation state. Most people who have listened to soothing music, used aromatherapy or taken a long relaxing bath before going to bed, have shown significant improvement in the bruxism condition.
It maybe because of a fall, after being hit in the face
with a ball or even eating something hard. All of these things can cause chipped teeth. A parents can keep children teeth healthy and give them a winning smile.The best course of action after you realized you've indeed suffered a split or chipped tooth is to make an appointment with a dentist. If the chip is small it can wait until the next day, however if it extends towards the gum and a large piece of the tooth has been removed, it's important to contact the dentist as soon as possible. Most cities have emergency dentists just for this reason.

Teeth care and freedom from toothache!

Chipped tooth feels rough against your tongue.The nerves in a chipped tooth can transmit a lot of pain when you bite into very hot or cold food.A product called DENTEMP sold at any drugstore can provide you relief for sometime.It instantly makes the tooth feel smooth,so you don't cut yourself.

Freedom From Dental diseases!

Procedures for performing the repair differ depending on which tooth is involved and the extent of the damage. For chipped teeth where only a small portion of the enamel has been affected the dentist may decide on bonding. This is a quick procedure and the results are amazing.

Some individuals are a bit fearful of the dentist and therefore don't end up going until they are sporting a smile filled with chipped teeth. In this case the dentist is likely to suggest a more complex approach to fixing the problem. It may include the use of veneers. Although expensive this truly offers the most rewarding outcome as you'll have the perfect smile.

Small children are prone to damaging their teeth during falls. It seems a regular occurrence for a little one to lose their footing when they are playing at the playground or running with friends. The same damage can happen during sports. Even with protective gear, chipped teeth do happen.

For a child who still has their baby teeth it's best to ask the dentist what he or she suggests in terms of treating the problem. If it's a small chip, they may decide to just grind the tooth down to make it even again and allow it to fall out on its own. If it's creating a more serious problem with the root of the tooth or the gum line, a more aggressive approach might be called for.

Prolonged, unintentional grinding and clenching of the teeth, usually occurring during sleep. 'Bruxers' are often unaware that they have developed this habit. Symptoms include abraded/chipped teeth (in extreme cases, waking up with tooth chips in the mouth); facial pain; oversensitive teeth; tense facial and jaw muscles; headaches; dislocation of the jaw; damage to the tooth enamel, exposing the inside of the tooth; a popping or clicking in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ); tongue indentations; damage to the inside of the cheek.

Bruxism can occur at any time, but it?s most common at night while sleeping. Some people unconsciously grind their teeth during the day, when they feel anxious or tense. This is different from tooth grinding or clenching that occurs at night, which is called as sleep bruxism. Most children who are bruxers do it at night, while adults do either at daytime or nighttime.

Bruxism can have a variety of causes, but the most common are probably emotional factors such as daytime stress, anxiety, anger, pain and frustration. Certain sleep disorders can trigger grinding of the teeth as well. People who are competitive, aggressive, and rushed may also be at greater risk for bruxism. Lastly, alcohol and some types of medications may worsen teethgrinding.

Repairing Chipped Teeth

Protect your teeth with one of the following options:

Bonding.
A plastic resin, or bonding material, applied to your teeth can fix many imperfections, including chips. Your dentist will buff your teeth, then apply phosphoric acid to create tiny crevices in the enamel. These crevices are what the resin will slip into and stick to. Your dentist will then apply the resin and sculpt it into an attractive shape that fits in with the look of the rest of your teeth. He or she will then polish your teeth to make sure the color matches that of the rest of the teeth, as well.

Tooth Contouring & Reshaping.
One of the few instant fixes cosmetic dentistry offers. Your cosmetic dentist will remove a little of the existing tooth enamel (the outside covering of the tooth) and replace it with a little bonding to "sculpt" you a brand new look. After x-rays to ensure the tooth can sustain the procedure (to make sure there is enough pulp within the tooth and bone between the teeth), your dentist will gradually remove small amounts of enamel with a sanding drill or laser. He or she will then shape the sides of your teeth with abrasive strips. Next, your dentist will polish your teeth. He or she may attach a veneer, a ceramic shell sculpted specifically for your tooth, or bonding, a thin coating of plastic or resin that covers tooth imperfections. Tooth contouring is a quick and inexpensive process.

Porcelain Veneers.
You can mask chipped teeth and whiten teeth all at once with porcelain veneers, natural-looking ceramic "masks" for your teeth. Veneers are like thin shells the dentist slips onto the front of your teeth. After a consultation session, your dentist buffs half a millimeter off your teeth in order to create room for the veneer and casts a mold based on your newly thinned teeth. Within a few weeks (during which you wear temporary veneers), you return to the office to have your veneers fitted, then sealed into place using cement and a blue light.

Chipped Tooth Repair

One of the first things a dentist will do for a chipped tooth is to assess how the injury occurred, and most likely take dental x-rays.If a chipped tooth is very minimally damaged, the dentist may be able to file the tooth smooth again.

He or she may also recommend doing nothing if the damage is very minimal.If a tooth is chipped badly or there is pain when chewing or drinking, the chipped tooth may need a crown. A crown is a cap that covers the tooth and protects it .

Anatomy of teeth 

Dental anatomy or anatomy of teeth is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purvue. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.) Tooth formation begins before birth, and teeth's eventual morphology is dictated during this time. Dental anatomy is also a taxonomical science: it is concerned with the naming of teeth and the structures of which they are made, this information serving a practical purpose in dental treatment.

Usually, there are 20 primary ("baby") teeth and 28 to 32 permanent teeth, the last four being third molars or "wisdom teeth", each of which may or may not grow in. Among primary teeth, 10 usually are found in the maxilla (upper jaw) and the other 10 in the mandible (lower jaw). Among permanent teeth, 16 are found in the maxilla and the other 16 in the mandible. Most of the teeth have distinguishing features.
