I had a filling done last year and there is a very tiny chip in-between my two front teeth food has been getting trapped between this area but I have been keeping this clean. Can I wait for my yearly appointment in April ?

Given these considerations, while it may be possible to wait until your yearly appointment in April if there are no symptoms and you are able to keep the area clean effectively, it is generally advisable to consult with a dentist sooner if food continues to get trapped or if any discomfort arises.

It is advisable not to wait until your yearly appointment in April; consider consulting a dentist sooner if food continues to get trapped or if discomfort arises.

I would make an earlier appointment. There is a chance that the chip could have cause a gap, which could lead to secondary decay.
