I hit my tooth while weightlifting and chipped it have I damaged my nerve

Thursday, May 29th, 2008
Q.
Hi, I hit my mouth today with a metal bar quite hard while weightlifting and my front tooth is chipped, even worse it has been moved forward slightly and is no longer flush with the rest of my teeth. I am in a state of panic as i am unsure if it can be fixed simply. I havent seen a dentist for over 10 years and im quite worried about the procedure to put it right again. Please could you shed some light on the procedure to help settle my nerves. Is it simply pushed back or is the tooth going to have to be removed. I am not in any pain and the tooth seems healthy, it needs to be corrected by moving it back 1mm or 2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Can dental bonding be redone for gaps and chipped tooth

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
Q.
I had a small space between my 2 front teeth and a little chip on my front tooth, but had those recently fixed with bonding. I was told it lasts generally 7-10 years because of staining/breakage. I was wondering though if only partial staining occurs or if the chipped part of the tooth returns, is the whole bonding procedure redone? If so, how does a dentist know where the original bonding was? (so that they don’t cut into the actual tooth or miss taking off some of the bonding) I would appreciate information about this, thanks.
