Chipped or Fractured Tooth Repair in Eastchester, NY
Gentle, Fast Care to Restore Your Child’s Smile After Dental Injuries
What Should You Do If Your Child Chips a Tooth?
Dental accidents can happen in an instant, during sports, at play, or even while eating. If your child chips, cracks, or fractures a tooth, it’s important to act quickly. Prompt dental care helps prevent further damage, reduce pain, and restore both function and appearance.
At Once Upon a Tooth, we offer fast, compassionate care for chipped or fractured teeth in Eastchester, NY. Dr. Lis and our experienced team are here to reassure your child, relieve discomfort, and repair their smile with expert, minimally invasive techniques.
What to Expect When Your Child Has a Damaged Tooth
We understand that a chipped or fractured tooth can feel stressful for the whole family. Our Eastchester pediatric dental team is trained to respond with calm, supportive care to help your child feel safe and at ease.
Here’s what typically happens during your visit:
Emergency Exam & X-rays (if needed): We assess the extent of the damage, check for nerve involvement, and determine the best treatment approach.
Comfort-First Approach: We prioritize your child’s comfort using gentle numbing techniques and calm, age-appropriate explanations.
Tooth Repair: Depending on the severity of the chip or fracture, we may recommend:
-
Dental Bonding: For small chips or cracks, we use tooth-colored resin to reshape and restore the tooth.
-
Composite Restorations: For more moderate damage, we restore lost tooth structure using a durable, aesthetic filling material.
-
Pediatric Crowns: In cases of more severe fractures, a crown may be placed to protect and strengthen the tooth
A Calm, Caring Environment for Dental Emergencies
We know dental injuries can be scary, especially for kids. That’s why our office is designed to provide a soothing, supportive space, even in urgent situations. Dr. Lis and our team explain every step in ways kids can understand, helping reduce anxiety and build trust.
We provide extra care and patience for children who:
-
Are feeling nervous or overwhelmed
-
Have sensory sensitivities
-
Need additional emotional support
No matter the situation, we’re here to provide gentle, reassuring care that puts kids and parents at ease.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Even if the damage seems minor, it’s important to have a chipped or cracked tooth evaluated by a pediatric dentist. Small issues can lead to:
-
Increased sensitivity or pain
-
Infection or pulp damage
-
Difficulty chewing or speaking
-
Further cracking or tooth loss
Getting care quickly allows us to repair the tooth before complications develop, and in many cases, treatment can be completed in just one visit.
