❓ FAQ Wednesday: Can a chipped tooth wait until after vacation?

It depends on the size and location of the chip.

A small chip may not be an emergency, but even minor damage can leave a tooth vulnerable to further cracking, sensitivity, or decay. If the chip is causing pain, has a sharp edge, or involves a large portion of the tooth, it's best to have it evaluated as soon as possible.

If you're heading out of town, give our office a call. We can help determine whether you should be seen before your trip and provide recommendations to protect your smile while you're away.

🥤☀️ Not all summer drinks are smile-friendly!

Some of the biggest culprits behind tooth decay and enamel erosion are popular warm-weather favorites like:
🍋 Lemonade
🥤 Soda
⚡ Sports and energy drinks
🍹 Sweet tea and fruity cocktails

These beverages can be high in sugar and acids that weaken enamel and increase the risk of cavities.

Enjoy your favorite summer treats in moderation, drink water throughout the day, and rinse with water after sipping acidic beverages to help protect your smile.
