Porcelain Crown Chipped

Dr Hall:

Last night I was eating Dorito chips and my porcelain-to-metal crown chipped! It is in the back of my lower jaw. Should I be worried? What are my options? Thank you.

—Joshua from New Mexico

Joshua,

No, with the metal foundation under the dental crown, as long as the metal is intact, the tooth should be protected. If the sharp edges irritate your tongue, you may have to have it smoothed. But have it checked when you're due for your next regular checkup to make sure there isn't a hole in the metal, too, or something.

—Dr. Hall
