Handling your Child's Chipped Tooth

February 12th, 2014

Despite our best efforts to keep our children safe, accidents do occur.  Here at Northwest Children's Dentistry, we see young patients who have sustained injuries that affected their teeth.

One thing that can occur is a child may chip or fracture a tooth.  This means part of the tooth remains in the mouth, while the rest has fallen out.  So what do you do when this happens?

If possible, locate and save any broken tooth fragments and bring them with you to the dentist. Some fractured teeth benefit from immediate treatment, so contact us right away, and we'll outline the best options for your child.

As your pediatric dentist in Tucson, we want to help you understand all aspects of your child's dental care.  Feel free to call us at (520) 544-8522.
