My 4-year-old recently chipped her tooth after falling in the playground. The bleeding stopped very quickly, and she seems to be ok. Do you think she needs to be seen by a dentist? Does the tooth need to be repaired?
 
Thanks, Nicole. AKA concerned parent.

Thank you for joining our online blog and for submitting the question. We are sorry to hear that your little one fell, but glad to hear she is doing well. Whenever a tooth gets chipped, we always recommend coming to the dentist as quickly as possible. While the bleeding and pain may have stopped, there could be other issues as a result of the injury that may not visible to you. In addition, after coming in, our dentist will tell you about symptoms to watch out for in the days and weeks to follow the injury.

Regarding your questions about repairing the tooth, it really depends on how deep, and where the chip is located. Please book an appointment and mention it is for a chipped tooth so that our receptionist will know to book you in as soon as possible. You can reach our office at (416) 922-2668
