  Chipped Teeth: How Do They Happen? Chipped teeth are a fairly common dental problem that patients can experience. Teeth can fracture for several reasons, depending on the patient and their oral health. Since enamel is the hardest substance in the body, equalling to twice the hardness of bone, it is extremely efficient in protecting our teeth and keeping them healthy. But there are times when trauma to the teeth, cavities or other dental problems could cause the enamel to break down and become less effective.   If you are experiencing teeth chipping or have had an accident where your teeth have been chipped, you must see your doctor as soon as possible.
