Dental Question regarding 8 year old.

[SayWhat]

I know this is off topic, but my 8 year old son chipped his front top tooth. This happened about two hours ago and we'll be visiting a dentist tomorrow.

Has any parent had this happen and what should I expect or do to have it corrected as perfectly as possible? I'll be damned if he has a screwed up looking front tooth. Any dentists here?

Is that a permanent tooth?

I would say a crown. Assuming an adult tooth. Sorry this happened. Total bummer when kids have an issue.

By the look of the gap?. Its time for a porcelain beauty....

If his front teeth are big they may be able to file both his front teeth to even them out and fill in the rest

Schedule the dentist appointment for next Saturday at around noon.

You're welcome.

I would go with a veneer.

I’m getting a root canal on Saturday at HRS.

Yes, unfortunately. I'm a shook as can be over this. Broke my heart a little even though it's not life threatening or anything. He says people will make fun of him, etc.

Needed that laugh, thank you.

You will get it fixed. They will likely be able to do something temporarily before the solution so kids can’t clown on him

He was most certainly destined for braces one day. I'm so f'ing annoyed about this, but don't care a bit about the cost. I just don't want a dentist to pull a fast one, but to get it right.

If people ask... have him tell them motorcycle accident... then offer them some bubblegum... instantly coolest kid in school.

He's the biggest kid by far in his class, but kids can be little ***** without meaning to be. I'll give him a pass if he wants to Hulk smash some wise ***. Not really, but tempting.

You can try a filling first. Sometimes they can last a few years. He just needs to be careful biting into hard foods. I would try that first. If it breaks a few times then you’ll probably need to crown it.

It's never to early to get him a solid pair of grillz. Pimpin' ain't easy brah, even when you're 8.

They can cap it. Look good as new.

I mean, you could keep it for a few weeks and then your son could dress as a Gator fan for Halloween
