Did your child fracture his front tooth due to a fall? It's not uncommon for children to lose or fracture their front teeth. If it happens emergency dental care will be needed to restore normalcy. At times a simple dental filling will do.
Here's a useful tip. Do not discard the tooth or the fracture part. Preserve it in either saline solution or clean water. Bring it over to the clinic immediately and we may just be able to use the tooth or the fracture part.
Children pursuing sports ar prone to such accidents. We recommend a mouth guard to protect their teeth. Customised mouth guards can be fabricated to suit the needs. This prevents minor accidents from leading to major dental ememrgencies.
Very often teeth can be irreparable. This could lead to a functional and aesthetic compromise very early in children. Don't let fear come in between your child and his goals.
Make an appointment today to find out more about mouth guards and how to correct fractured teeth in children.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Dr. Laura your insights are appreciated. You so rightly put the treatment options for managing fractured teeth. AS I mentioned here in the blog, We often seen children with severe injuries that may render the teeth irreparable. This was a word of caution to all parents with children into contact sports. We do understand that most of the time teeth that are fractured can be repared with the latest in adhesive dentistry and other methods.
