Hi, Okay so one of my front teeth had a little tiny chip in it, I ignored it and ignored it, now they chip has gotten bigger and the other night I went to look in the mirror and the chip is huge now and brown inside like it is rotting. So now I am freaking out because it looks so gross and I don;t have any dental insurance. I am waiting for benefits from work , which will be about a month or two, and then I can go get it fixed. I have been looking online for a cosmetic solution until then. I have been reading up on dentemp and other products from them, such as "refilit" or "recapit" does anyone have any experience with these products? or know of anything else I can use to try and hide this??

How Does a Dentist Treat a: Chipped tooth —If there is no pain and the chip is small, it's up to you to decide if, when and how the tooth should be repaired. Depending on the size of the chip, it can be smoothed or cosmetically corrected. Other options include veneers, crowns and fillings. Ask your dentist to explain these options. If a filling or artificial tooth becomes chipped, it should be replaced. Cracked or broken tooth —Cracked and broken teeth should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Root canal therapy or tooth extraction may be necessary. If a crack affects the enamel and dentin of the tooth, a crown is frequently the best treatment. Keep in mind that cracks are not always visible, even on X-rays. Symptoms may involve pain while chewing and Sensitivity to cold and possibly hot foods and liquids, as well as air, which may over time become more pronounced.
