What To Do If Your Child Chips a Tooth

You may have to deal with a chipped tooth as your toddler starts to explore. Top tips: - Make an appointment with a dentist; follow their instructions. - Use warm water to rinse out your toddler's mouth. - Any fragments of teeth should be stored in water, saliva or milk. Dental treatment is important because bacteria can enter the tooth root causing infection, creating problems years later, when adult teeth arrive. "In some cases, as long as the tooth fragment is kept moist, your dentist may still be able to reattach it to your child’s tooth."
