Answers:
hey big kyle,
if its just a little piece,then u probably have nothing to worry about!.just look out for warning signs such as sensitivity to cold water/air/sweets!. if u experience any of this,then u shud go to a doctor immediately!.
otherwise u can wait till august and ur dentist would give u a tooth colored filling and then u wont be even able to make out the filling from ur own tooth!.
using whitening rinses and tooth whiteners over a period of time causes enamel weakening and makes it more susceptible to erosion and fracture!.just give it a break for some time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I chipped my tooth years ago and my cap broke!. My dentist actually replaced it with a filling instead!. You can't even tell it was chipped, it didn't cost much, about as much as a regular filling!.
The whitener won't really help it much (as far as the chip tooth is concerned) but at least it will keep it clean and white!.!.

Unless you start having pain from the tooth I wouldn't worry about it, if you do then that means your chip is close to a nerve, unless you can wait till august!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it's a little chip, it really shouldn't cost much at all!. Does it feel rough!? If it's a tiny chip, a dentist can just use a little instrument and smooth it out for you!. Not much to it!. And little cost!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stop using tooth whiteners, they weaken the tooths enamel (the tooths shield say) so that could be why your tooth chipped to begin with!. Just go easy on it till you get home!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
