If you have a small chip in your tooth, it won’t cause much damage at first, however, it may lead to complications. Small chips can also cause you to have sharp edges, which can cut your tongue, lips or cheek.
A small chip can also weaken your tooth, which could mean your tooth is more vulnerable to breaks in the future.
Will a slightly chipped tooth get worse?

Even if you don’t experience any pain, you should get your checked by your dentist to make sure that you haven’t caused any long term damage.
Why did my tooth chip so easily?
One of the most common reasons you may chip a tooth could be due to poor oral hygiene. Your enamel may be weakened by cavities and decay, affecting the integrity of your tooth. Brushing your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes will help to reduce the risk.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.
If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.

Can cosmetic dentistry improve your confidence?
In this video, Carol answers a question we hear often - and for many patients, the answer is yes.
Feeling confident in your smile can have a real impact on how you feel day to day. Cosmetic dentistry can help improve concerns such as tooth colour, shape, spacing or worn edges, while keeping results natural and suited to you.
Every smile is different, which is why treatment always starts with understanding your goals and recommending the most appropriate options.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, our team at Evolve would be happy to help.

Can a dental device help with snoring?
In this video, Maggie answers a question many people ask - and for some patients, the answer is yes.
Custom-made dental devices can help reduce snoring by gently repositioning the jaw during sleep to help keep the airway more open.
If snoring is affecting your sleep, or someone else’s, it may be worth exploring whether this option could help you.
Speak to our team at Evolve to learn more.
