Chipped, broken or cracked tooth
Chipping, breaking or cracking a tooth is usually not serious. A dentist should be able to treat it.
This page is based on the advice from NHS chipped, brocken or cracked tooth
What to do if you have a chipped, brocken or cracked tooth
If a piece of tooth has broken off, put it in milk or saliva (by spitting into a container if it's your tooth, or having your child spit into a container if it's theirs) and take it to a dentist. The dentist may be able to glue the piece of tooth back on.
Do not go to a GP. They will not be able to give you dental treatment.
