What should I do if my child breaks his tooth while playing?

Nowadays, children are very naughty and often play and push each other. If the play gets too serious, many accidents may easily happen, such as falling down while running or other situations. So today we will talk about what to do if a child accidentally breaks a tooth while playing? If mothers encounter this situation, don’t worry. Let me teach you some methods that you can use next time.

To preserve the broken tooth, rinse it briefly and place it in a moist environment in time, such as milk, saline, etc. You can also hold it in your mouth. Never wrap it with a tissue to prevent the broken tooth from being damaged by dryness. See a doctor as soon as possible. The success rate of treatment is high within 30 minutes after the tooth is broken.

If a baby tooth is broken, seek medical attention immediately. Some parents believe that their children will have new teeth in the future anyway. It is wrong to ignore children's teeth. If a child's deciduous teeth are broken, he or she needs to seek medical attention in time. If the crown of a deciduous tooth is broken and the dental nerve is exposed, a pulpotomy is usually performed to prevent infection of the affected tooth, otherwise it will affect the development of permanent teeth in the future; if the root of a deciduous tooth is broken, no treatment is required and the condition should be observed: if the deciduous tooth is completely embedded in the alveolar socket and the embedding direction is biased towards the palate, and the root apex of the deciduous tooth is inclined towards the permanent tooth germ, the deciduous tooth should be extracted to avoid possible damage to the permanent tooth germ.

A small part of the cutting end of the crown can be broken off and then restored to its original shape by bonding with resin material. Pay attention to any discoloration of the teeth and follow up. Cervical part: Root canal filling is performed first, then a cast metal post is cemented into the root canal, and then the crown is bonded back. Broken tooth root: At this time, the tooth needs to be extracted and a space maintainer is made. After adulthood, dentures or dental implants can be used to repair the tooth.

Now mothers know what to do if their children’s teeth are broken, right? I was also very playful when I was a child. There was a similar situation once and my parents didn’t know what to do, so they sent me directly to the hospital. If mothers encounter this situation, they can deal with the injury themselves, which will be of great help to the child's recovery.
