Question
Hello, today i felt off my bike and chipped my teeth. it is the front baby tooth. Should i see a dentist soon. It is not very bad. Its at a medium size and it botherts me alot. i dotn feel any pain but when theirs tensio nagainst the tooth their is.
Can you help me please?
Dear Anonyamous,
May I assume that because you still have your front baby tooth, that you are under the age of 10? If so, much of what you can do is up to the decision of your parent(s) or guardian.
However, anything that "bothers you alot" as you have said, should be examined by a dentist, if only to make your tooth feel better. I would recommend that you make an appointment with your dentist if your tooth does not feel better soon on its own.
Good luck!
