A chipped tooth is a tooth with a piece broken off, typically from the biting edge.
The damage ranges from minor cosmetic flaws to painful breaks exposing the nerve.
Chips usually result from biting something hard, falls, or impacts: He got a chipped tooth playing hockey.
A chipped tooth often becomes a memorable feature of someone's appearance.
