As babies grow and start to explore the world around them, the risk of a chipped tooth increases. This can be painful for your child and can lead to an infection in the root.
Key takeaways:
– Contact your child-friendly dentist for an appointment as soon as a tooth is chipped.
– Rinse any tooth fragments and store in saliva, milk or water until taken to the dentist.
– Gently rinse your baby’s mouth with warm water, especially if the tooth fragment may still be in the mouth.
“A tooth chip can not only be painful, but can also allow bacteria to enter the tooth root, which can cause an infection and even early tooth loss, which can disrupt the alignment of the adult teeth that will come in in a few years.”
