Chipped teeth are a common occurrence in children, whether from a fall at the playground, a sports mishap, or even an accidental bump at home. While a small chip might not cause immediate pain, it can still be uncomfortable for your child and may lead to more significant issues down the road.
At the Pediatric Dental Center in Northern Kentucky, we understand how concerning it can be for parents to see their child with a chipped tooth. Even if the chip seems minor, it’s important to address it promptly. A chipped tooth can be sharp, causing discomfort and potentially harming the surrounding tissues. Over time, if left untreated, the chip could worsen or lead to further dental complications.
Depending on the size and location of the chip, our pediatric dental team may recommend a dental restoration like bonding or a veneer. These treatments can smooth out the tooth, restore its natural appearance, and ensure that it functions properly.
If your child has chipped a tooth, don’t hesitate to contact the Pediatric Dental Center. We’re here to help your child smile confidently again!
