I have a scratch on my front tooth

Q. I have a scratch on my front tooth, that has become really quite visible. It now appears like a small chip out of the front of my tooth. It has recently become sensitive on eating or drinking anything. I am extremely paranoid about this as the tooth appears to be very weak and i am extremely concerened about its appearance. What kind of treatments could cover this scratch/chip, and how much would these be likely to cost.

A. Rather than a scratch it sounds like a crack it needs to be assessed as teeth with cracks can breakdown.  It may just need a simple filling but if the crack is very deep it may need a crown.
