    So I was eating yesterday and my front tooth chipped off, near to gumline. It must have gone soft from decay. It looked fine but obviously wasnt on the inside. I called the dentist but cant get appointment until tomorrow. Any idea if this tooth can be saved? There is no pain at all. Really dont want extraction.

    Thanks guys

    Op it will really depend on what condition the tooth is in.

    Try to no stress too much and dont start poking it!

    Yeah and i guess it'd be impossible for me to tell what condition its in. It doesnt look great but what do I know. I wont stress too much till I see my dentist. Thanks for the replies guys

    Its probably not as bad as it looks, get to a dentist and find out what the score is. Just about anything is fixable.

    So im just back from the dentist, the good news is the tooth can be saved, thank god! Had to get root canal today, getting a screw and crown on friday. That was a close call, brush your teeth kids!
