COMMON CAUSES OF CHIPPED OR CRACKED TEETH

  • Cavities: Holes in the teeth from cavities or tooth decay weaken the teeth and can lead to chips or cracks.

  • Misaligned bite: An improper bite may make you more susceptible to tooth damage.

  • Injury/Trauma: Trauma to the face or mouth, such as being hit in the face with an object or participating in certain contact sports without proper protection, can lead to an emergency dental situation.

  • Bruxism: Teeth grinding can make someone more likely to crack or chip their teeth.

  • Poor oral hygiene: Poor oral care can weaken the teeth, making them much more vulnerable to this dental problem.

  • Using your teeth as a tool: Never use your teeth as a tool to pull something apart or to tear open packages.
