The enamel that covers your teeth is the hardest tissue in the body. That doesn’t mean that it will never break; it only means that your teeth, by nature, are strong. If, however, you somehow bite on something hard, or get hit in the face, one or more of your teeth may chip or break. Teeth are especially vulnerable if they have not been cared for optimally and already have some amount of decay. When a tooth gets chipped or broken, you have to see a dentist immediately. If this isn’t done soon enough, severe consequences may arise, including functional compromises and infection. The latter can spread to the head and neck, leading to serious health problems.
