how do you chip or crack your teeth?
enamel, which covers your teeth and is the hardest substance in your body, has its limits. if you chew on hard candy, ice, bite down hard, receive a blow to your face or grind your teeth in your sleep, your teeth can chip or crack. even poor hygiene and cavities can weaken your teeth and make them more susceptible to being chipped or cracked. you may not even feel any tooth pain when you chip a tooth unless it’s large enough to expose the inner layer of your tooth. a cracked tooth might only effect the enamel and it would not feel painful
