How is a broken front tooth treated in a 10-year-old?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My younger sister is 10 years old. She had an injury, and her front tooth is half broken. How to fix it permanently? Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
X-ray is necessary to diagnose the fractured front tooth to check the extent of fracture. Simple restoration can be done if your sister has only sensitivity. Pain or swelling in the permanent tooth requires root canal treatment. Follow up after two days.
I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.
Thank you.
