Frequently asked questions
Q: Do broken baby teeth hurt?
A: Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Even if pain is minimal, evaluation is important because trauma can affect developing adult teeth.
Q: Can a toddler’s broken tooth be fixed?
A: Often yes. Treatment depends on the type of injury, the tooth’s development stage, and the child’s age. Our team provides tailored care for each situation.
