As long as you do not have any pain or discomfort, you should brush all your teeth.
Keeping your teeth clean is always recommended. The question is: Is it hurting a lot when touched? This pain may be telling you know that the nerve is exposed or there is a deeper problem like an extended fracture down the root of the tooth. My advice is to make an appointment right away so the situation can be properly assessed and a restoration be done as soon as possible.
Yes, and see a dentist.
Absolutely, as long as you can tolerate it and there is no nerve (pulp chamber) exposure. A chipped tooth means that some of the enamel has fractures leaving thousands of enamel rods unsealed and more likely to attack from acids, including those secreted by bacteria.
Hello,
Yes, you should brush all teeth. A chipped or broken teeth should be brushed and cleaned out well until you visit your dentist and should be checked immediately.
