A chipped tooth can happen quickly—during sports, a fall, or everyday play. The good news is that chipped teeth are common in children, and many can be successfully restored with prompt dental care.
If your child chips a tooth, stay calm and check for other injuries. Have them gently rinse their mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress if there is swelling, and save any pieces of the tooth you can find. Then, call your dentist as soon as possible. Harte Dental is (617) 696-5257.
