I chipped my tooth years ago.?

When I was a young kid a chipped my tooth, about 15 years ago. Everything is healthy as I have not had my dentist say anything about it during x-rays. Someone told me today that over a long period teeth can die and I could end up getting a root cannel. If the tooth appears healthy what are the chances of this happening since it happened about 15 years ago? Don't think I had much trauma to the tooth except chipping a large piece off the front.

    Actually, if you have a chipped tooth, you have the option to have it repaired through dental bonding.

    Anyway, this is really nothing to be worried about, especially if you've been taking care of your teeth since then, If you've been brushing, flossing and eating enough calcium rich food, your teeth will be fine.

    There's no chance of root canal if you've been taking good care of your pearly whites.
