Surprisingly, it didn't hurt at all.

Though it was a bit surprising. I chipped a tooth -- front right incisor -- when I was trying to set a nut while climbing, and it flew out, towards my face, and hit my tooth. Now, I have some very sharp edges in my mouth. Tomorrow, I must call the dentist and make an appointment for soon.

EEEK! Glad it didn't hurt but I hope the damage is minimal. :( Other than that, did you have a good day of climbing?

Some damage -- it is visible. Dentist appointment on Friday at 4pm.

Other than that, I did have a good day of climbing.

I chipped a tooth when I was in 3rd grade (I ran into a wall). I don't remember it hurting (once the part where I ran face-first into a wall stopped hurting) but it looked very snaggly until the dentist put a cap on it.

Yeah, mine looks kind of snaggly, too. I expect I'll probably end up with a cap.

I hope it continues not to hurt, and that the dental work isn't too painful or pricey!

Thank you for the well-wishes.

Ack! I have never chipped a tooth before, but I can imagine the aftermath being very uncomfortable.

I do hope that the repair is not pricey.

Please keep us updated on how it went, I am unsure of how interesting putting a cap on would be, but if they use another method that could be neat.

Though I am interested on what the expense would be, I have a strange fear that my front teeth will break off and I always panic when I think of the cost.
