Q. Hi Doc I have a chipped upper left single tooth which is not broken. I have protected it with dental cerment for now. I live in a caravan and move every 28 days. I am also constantly looking after my pet dog who requires 24 hour home care due to an illness. Is the dental cerment the best temparly thing to use until I get to a dentist. The chip is at the awkward side. It is important that I protect this tooth is that correct. Any advise please. Kind regards

A. Yes thats probably your best bet but try to get it fixed ASAP
