First Aid: What to Do in the First 30 Minutes
Rinse gently with lukewarm water to remove debris.
Retrieve the fragment (if you can) and pop it in a clean container of milk or saliva – your dentist might be able to re‑bond it.
Stop bleeding with light pressure using sterile gauze or a clean cloth.
Cover sharp edges with sugar‑free chewing gum or dental wax to protect your tongue and cheeks.
Avoid chewing on that side and stick to soft foods.
Call your dentist immediately—chips can widen, become painful, or pick up bacteria.
Ignoring a chip may lead to deeper cracks, decay, or even nerve damage—so same‑day assessment is essential.

What Happens at Your Appointment?
Urgent triage – pain relief and X‑ray/3D scan.
Discuss options – your dentist will explain the pros, cons, lifespan, and costs.
Immediate repair – bonding or digital scan for a crown/veneer in the same visit whenever possible.
After‑care kit & advice – written instructions, prescription (if needed), and a follow‑up plan.
Most patients walk out able to eat soft foods that evening and return to a normal diet within 24 hours.
Can You Really Afford to Wait?
- Even a painless chip can:
- Trap plaque and cause decay
- Lead to sensitivity or break further
- Affect your bite and wear opposing teeth
- Early repair is faster, cheaper, and keeps more of your natural tooth.
