If you notice that your baby has accidentally chipped one or more teeth, do not fret. It is often possible to reattach a fragment if it is stored correctly. Let’s take a look at a handful of suggestions.
– Gently rinse the chipped piece with water.
– It can then be stored in milk or saliva.
– If the moisture is maintained, the dentist may be able to affix it to the existing tooth.
“As long as the tooth fragment is kept moist, your dentist may still be able to reattach it to your child’s tooth.”
