3-Year Old Toddler Chipped Tooth Repair
A 36-month toldler slipped and hit his mouth on the sink, fracturing his upper two front teeth. Dr Shabnam Zai repaired the chipped teeth with composite bonding.
The 3-year old presented with trauma to his upper two front teeth. His adult teeth were not due to for another 3 years. The fractured teeth would affect his speech and his confidence.
Compliance was the biggest challenge here. Getting a 36 month old child to sit still and open his mouth. Luckily the child had some familiarity with the dentist having been before. And with a few minutes of compliance was all that was needed to complete the bonding treatment.
