I had a silly slip getting out of my car and ended up with a chipped tooth a while ago. Unfortunately I ignored the problem because I was busy and I ended up with a much more problematic and big repair job. I want to make sure that no one else makes the silly mistake that I made so I have started this website. I get dentists to give me interviews and tips on the best way to react to accidental dental damage so that you don't do permanent damage to your mouth. I hope you enjoy the site and find it useful.
