Can you please tell me why this happened???

Question

A bit upset because i just had an apple and as I bit into it i felt something really weird and painful on one of my upper front teeth. When i looked in the mirror to see, I saw that the tooth that hurt has been "pushed up" and has sort of retreated back into my gums. It looks like a tooth does when it's just growing, and you can only see the tip. I've lost 3/4 of my tooth!!! Why did this happen???!!!! Is it a lack of something in my diet or just my plain old bad luck (toothless, pathetic grin) I take very good care of my teeth, so I doubt it's due to bad oral health. Also, does anyone know if it can be sorted out? Please help.

Answer 1

It sounds like you got a chipped tooth from biting into the apple. My husband has had that happen twice from biting into pepperoni. Go to the dentist, he can repair your chipped tooth. My husband has had 2 of his repaired. I don't know why it happened, you should ask the dentist and ask if there is a way to strengthen your teeth so it doesn't happen again.

Answer 2

I would see a dentist asap! Good Luck
