My daughter fell and broke a chunk off her front tooth. I immediately called our pediatric dentist and he said the soonest he could see her is six months from now. I told him we are pretty anxious to get it fixed and asked him to recommend somewhere. His response was that everyone will tell us that the nerves need time to calm down and then they can see us. For some reason that felt like an excuse to me. If not, why not say that upfront instead of originally saying he’s booked for six weeks? Is there really a necessary time to wait?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Belinda,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your instincts are good. There isn’t really a reason you should have to wait. I’m guessing your pediatric dentist just didn’t want to lose any business. This can be treated right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the piece that broke off, a good cosmetic dentist can reattach it. If not, the solution would be to have dental bonding done. This will also need to be done by a good cosmetic dentist. It doesn’t necessarily need to also be a pediatric dentist. There are general dentists who work well with children<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she ages, the pulp of her tooth will get smaller. At that point, it may be necessary to do a dental crown. Until then, bonding or reattachement are your best options for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If she gets nervous at the dentist, look for someone who offers dental sedation<\/a>. They can give her something to relax her. It doesn’t have to be very strong, even just nitrous oxide will be enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
