I had 3 cavities filled on Tuesday. Everything seemed to be going fine. I didn\u2019t feel any pain with the drilling, and I was quite pleased. But then the drill hit one of my front teeth! I know that I must have looked alarmed, because the dentist kept saying everything is okay. This is not the dentist I would normally go to. This one is less expensive than my regular dentist, so I decided to give him a try for a cleaning. I liked him so I decided that I would let him fill my cavities. This was just my second visit. When I got home and really looked at my teeth, I saw I small chip on a left front tooth! I am torn about what to do. It\u2019s not difficult to see the chip. If this dentist didn\u2019t tell me that he chipped my tooth can I trust him to fix it, or will he just say that he fixed it? \u2013 Noel T.<\/p>\n

Noel – You do have a big decision to make. You should let the new dentist know about the chipped tooth right away. It may be wise to schedule an appointment to speak with him in person about it.<\/p>\n

After you speak with the dentist, if you don\u2019t want him to restore your tooth, you can ask if he will pay for the cost of having it restored. You can then return to your usual dentist or go to a cosmetic dentist for the restoration<\/a>. Dental bonding can be made to match the color of your natural tooth. The bonding will be applied to the tooth, shaped, hardened, shaped again, and polished. If it\u2019s done by a cosmetic dentist, people won\u2019t be able to tell where your tooth was chipped.<\/p>\n
