There are simple steps you can take to prevent a chipped or cracked tooth. These include but aren’t limited to:
- Wear a mouthguard when participating in certain sports or recreational activities.
- Use scissors to cut things instead of using your teeth.
- Avoid chewing foods that are known to cause cracks or chips, such as ice, popcorn kernels, and hard candy.
- See your dentist on a regular basis.5
