*chuckle* This chip is on the inside point of the third tooth from the right rear of my lower teeth, so it would have been quite a trick. In this particular case, I felt the pointy part of the tooth chip off while eating breakfast cereal last week.
The other lower crowns are more or less preventative: both teeth had two old filling in them, and X-rays showed tiny fracture lines starting to form between them. Without the crowns, eventually the teeth might have shattered, which would have been very bad. As it stands now, with a nice pair of gold crowns over them, I expect them to last out the duration.
