Chipped Teeth

The outer covering of the teeth also known as enamel is one of the strongest substances of your body. However, in case of extreme wear and tear, the teeth can get chipped. This would leave the teeth surface to be sharp, jagged and disfigured. Any tooth that is weak is more prone to get chipped. However, in case of sudden shocks, even the strongest tooth can get chipped.
