Accidents will happen and children’s teeth are susceptible to becoming chipped, cracked, loosened or even lost. If your child should have the misfortune to damage a tooth it is important to remain calm and act quickly.
A dentist should be consulted straight away to assess the extent of the damage. A swift response can make the difference between saving or losing the damaged tooth.

For baby teeth:

- A dentist can often easily realign the tooth
- Delaying treatment makes realignment more difficult
- Untreated loosened baby teeth may grow crooked
