I took incredibly poor care off my teeth as a teenager and I'm suffering now for it. I'm aware that my teeth are brittle and I have mild gum disease. But I'm terrified of the dentist, so I only go if I'm in pain.
A few months ago, during lockdown, I noticed a chip on the side of my upper left canine tooth. It hasn't caused me any pain and it isn't sensitive at all. The chip has gotten slightly larger since. I can feel it with my tongue but it isn't sharp. Pictures below.


I can't really afford any dental work right now. How urgent is treatment if I'm not in an pain? And what is the treatment likely to be?
