Hi, my 15mo chipped her 2 front teeth this weekend. One isn't so bad, but one is noticible. I don't care so much about the way it looks, but it has a sharp edge to it and I'm not sure if I should have this looked at. Anyone deal with this before?
thanks! Posted on 08/24/09, 11:08 am |

My son chipped his tooth about the same age. We did take him to the dentist, so I can tell you what he said. Watch for discoloration of the tooth - if you see that, you should take her in. As far as the sharp edge, inspect her mouth for little cuts, and watch to see if her eating habits change. If you see cuts or she isn't wanting to eat, you can take her in - they can file her tooth a bit to smooth it if needed.
