    Yes, you can get it fixed. Its called a Cap or a Crown. Its a tooth like fixture the dentist puts over top of the broken tooth. Its not painfilul, not like your tooth breaking off anyway. He'll numb it, fit it, and basically Gorilla Glue that son of a ***** on there. They last a good 7 years or so, if they're done right. Good luck sweety.

    Call the dentist and set up an Meeting. If you don't have one just goodle local dentist. My boyfriend chipped his tooth off from doing a keg stand. They'll fix it and others won't notice! You might notice a slight line but others won't :)

    depends how bad it chipped usually if not he recommend a crown metal sleeve that goes over the tooth and cemented in like filling but covers whole tooth. expensive
