These foods are full of cavity-causing sugar, but there are other ways that your smile can become damaged. Some foods that can chip teeth include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Pretzels, baguettes, biscotti, and other hard breads<\/li><li>Hard candies like peppermints<\/li><li>Dried meats like beef jerky<\/li><li>Popcorn kernels<\/li><li>Corn on the cob<\/li><li>Ice cubes<\/li><li>Peaches<\/li><li>Cherries<\/li><li>Olives<\/li><li>Seeds<\/li><li>Nuts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dangers of Chipped Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A chipped tooth can do more than just make your smile look lopsided. The sharp edges a chipped tooth creates can cut your lips, tongue, cheeks, or gums. Chipped teeth also have a higher chance of breaking, which may eventually lead to the need for an extraction. Additionally, sensitivity is a common cause of a chipped tooth. Chips also weaken one\u2019s enamel, which makes you more likely to develop cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the chip is pretty big, this lets bacteria into the tooth. This can cause a serious infection, which can only be treated with a root canal. Though this procedure is nothing to be afraid of and is virtually painless through the use of modern techniques and technology, it\u2019s best to avoid this issue by preventing chipped teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Your Dentist Can Repair a Chipped Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If consuming foods that can chip teeth results in a damaged smile, there are several things that your dentist can do to repair it, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Dental fillings<\/strong> \u2013 A tooth-colored dental filling is often used to repair a cavity and may be able to repair a chipped tooth if only a small piece of enamel has broken off.<\/li><li><strong>Porcelain veneers<\/strong> \u2013 These thin porcelain shells cover the front of a tooth and can mask cosmetic issues like chips and cracks.<\/li><li><strong>Dental bonding<\/strong> \u2013 A composite, tooth-colored material is used to cover up cosmetic flaws like chips.<\/li><li><strong>Dental crown<\/strong> \u2013 These tooth-shaped caps encircle the visible part of a person\u2019s tooth and can improve both the look and function of a seriously damaged or decayed tooth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there are several foods that can chip teeth and cause a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperowensdds.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency<\/a>.
