What Causes Tooth Chipping?

My boyfriend's teeth are chipping really bad and we don't know why. He had a toothache all day long and he just now chipped his tooth. He says he doesn't really use whitening toothpaste that much and he drinks a lot of milk. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

I have gone through your query , as your friend has toothache due to chipping dont worry Consult dentist and go for Restoration of tooth .

If chipping involves pulp exposure then go for Root canal treatment if possible .

For toothache you can take painkiller for temporary relief One Tablet Paracetamol three times a day .

Hope this will help you.
