Whenever one of your teeth is severely damaged by physical injury or decay, you should seek restoration to avoid further complications with the health of your smile. Each time you sit down to enjoy a meal, your bite sustains a significant amount of pressure while processing your food. When a tooth is healthy, it withstands this function properly. When a tooth is chipped or broken and left untreated, your normal eating behavior can cause intense pain and lead to more loss of stable material.
