I have a ten-year-old daughter. Today she fell and broke a front tooth. I am a bit frustrated with my dentist who said that he can fix it but he cannot see her for six weeks. When I told him I did not want to wait that long, he said it was necessary for the tooth to desensitize anyway. If that is the case, I’ll wait. However, I got the impression he was just saying that. If that is the case, I’d rather go somewhere else. What is the right thing for me to do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, there is not a medical reason to wait. I suggest you take her to another pediatric dentist<\/a> to be evaluated and treated. If you tell them what happened, they may be able to schedule an emergency appointment<\/a> for you. It would be ideal if it is a dental practice that also has a highly-trained cosmetic dentist on staff. It’s okay if they don’t, but you’ll want a skilled cosmetic dentist to do the repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the piece that broke off they may be able to re-attach it. If that peice is missing, then dental bonding<\/a> will be the right solution. Both require expert cosmetic dentists as I mentioned above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she gets older, the pulp of her teeth will shrink. At that point, she’ll need a single dental crown. Be aware that dental insurance only pays for the cheapest option. For children, that is usually a silver crown. I doubt you’ll want that on her front tooth, so call the office and find out what the price difference will be from what the insurance will cover and what you want for her. If you start saving now when the time comes it won’t be as much of a financial burden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
