Is a broken teeth in child a cause for concern?
Patient: Hi, my daughter is 9 yrs old and the top half of her tooth came off...what remains is a piece of her tooth & her gum, but i looks as if it s her gum in between 2 teeths. I ve never seen this before. It s not hurting her. Is this something we should be worried about? Doctor: hi..according to your observations from your daughter's mouth.. the top half of the tooth hs came off...so the remaining piece of her tooth is the ROOT portion of that broken tooth..which is present in between 2 teeth.You should visit your dentist.. for the removal of that remained ROOT portion of that tooth..
