✨🦷 School holidays are here - let’s keep those little smiles safe and strong! 🦷✨
Accidents happen fast, especially during playtime. This young patient suffered a fall today and chipped a front tooth. Thankfully, with quick care and some resin bonding, Dr Aaishah was able to reattach the broken tooth fragment, restoring their confident smile in no time!
👉 Quick dental tips if your child chips a tooth!
1. Stay calm and reassure your child. A chipped tooth can be scary, but most cases are treatable.
2. If possible, find the broken tooth fragment and quickly place it in milk, saline or saliva - it may be possible to reattach it!
3. Gently rinse your child’s mouth with warm water to remove debris.
4. Avoid hard or hot foods until they’ve seen a dentist.
5. Call your dentist immediately: The sooner we can assess the damage, the better the outcome.
Lastly, encourage safe play and schedule regular check-ups during the break. Prevention is the best protection!
