My back bottom tooth chipped and now its sharp and poking my tongue,what can I d!
Question: This just happened to me last week. Same place, back bottom. I was getting cut by the jagged edges of the tooth, and I tried using that instant cavity filler you buy at the drugstore, and that didn't work. I called my dentist early the next morning and luckily they fit me in. My dentist ground the sharp edges down so the tooth wouldn't cut my tongue, but he also said I need a root canal to fix the damn tooth. This really bores me, as I hate root canals and hate spending the money to boot. Good luck.

you prolly want to see a dentist, they can just file down the sharp part for you
but chances are it chipped because it was weak and you may have a cavity-- just having it filed will not fix it and you could chip it again so the dentist will prolly want to take xrays etc..
See a dentist.
Go to the dentist...and they can file it down or mould you a peice the same as the chiped of bit and glue it on
THE SIMPLEST THING A DENTIST CAN DO FOR YOU IS TO POLISH AWAY THE ROUGH EDGE. THIS USUALLY IS VERY QUICK AND REQUIRES NO SHOTS.
