Suggest Treatment For Chipped Teeth
Hi - my wisdom teeth seem to have chipped away on one side - I am 28 and normal weight etc. I clench my teeth together really hard in my sleep, could this be a factor? I also have another tooth (not wisdom) that has chipped recently, I'm scared it's going to keep happening and the expense of getting it all sorted.

Thanks for using health care magic.
Read your query.
Excessive clenching in sleep (referred as bruxism) can also be a cause for the chipping.
*I would advice you to visit your local dentist and get it checked and get the appropriate treatment of mouth guards to prevent this clenching.
*Lead a stress free lifestyle.
*Get your chipped teeth filled and get treated to avoid more chipping.
Thanks and regards.
