Back of tooth sharp? There appears to be very slightly less gum behind one tooth!


Question: Back of tooth sharp? There appears to be very slightly less gum behind one tooth! HELP!?
Basically, I just tongued the back of my tooth, and noticed that the back of the tooth was sharp and had a different texture.
I looked in the mirror (with great difficulty) and noticed that it is a very bright white, surrounded by the rest of my slightly paler tooth.

I normally care for my teeth very carefully, but I'm open to anything you advise or inform me of.
It does not feel loose. Please help!

Answers:

Sounds like you've chipped your tooth, not a massive problem seeing as you haven't mentioned any pain so it looks like the nerve isn't exposed (trust me, you'd know if it was). You should probably get it looked at by a dentist anyway, just to make sure its not infected. They'll probably suggest a crown or claim the NHS consider it cosmetic surgery so if they ask tell them it hurts so it'll become medical and not cosmetic!!
