It depends on the health of the tooth. Teeth which have been neglected for long periods of time can be damaged by normal activity (e.g., eating). Healthy teeth which are brushed/flossed regularly can withstand a substantial amount of force without chipping. It is what teeth are meant to do.

How much force would a punch need to have to break someones jaw?

The amount of force required to break someone's jaw can vary depending on several factors, including the angle of the punch, the strength of the person delivering the punch, and the resilience of the individual's jawbone. On average, it is estimated that a force of around 200-250 pounds-force (lbf) is needed to fracture the human jaw. This force can be generated by a strong punch or impact to the jaw, such as in a physical altercation or a sports-related injury. It is important to note that causing harm to someone intentionally is not only unethical but also illegal.

How can you tell if breaking a tooth is physical?

You can tell if breaking a tooth is physical by experiencing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, or noticing a change in the appearance of the tooth. Another sign is if you have difficulty biting or chewing with the affected tooth. It's important to see a dentist for an evaluation and treatment if you suspect a broken tooth.


Do you pull down or to the side to pull a tooth out?

Please, for the love of God, do not extract your own tooth. Tooth extraction is a technique and has little to do with force. If you do it yourself the root tip could break off and that can less to a horrible infection. If cost is an issue many dental offices accept payments. If it's a loose baby tooth the adult tooth will push it out on it's own.

What happens if your tooth broke?

If you completely break your tooth, like through the inside and everything, you will feel a lot of pain in your mouth. However, if by break, you mean you chipped the tooth, nothing really happens, but you can feel the break with your tongue. Either way, if you have dental insurance, you might get a filling for a chipped tooth, or a whole new replacement tooth if you broke the entire tooth.
