If your child has had a serious dental injury, it is important to follow-up with your child’s dentist.
Why follow-up is so important
We may not be sure of the outcome of a dental injury for a few months. Even if the tooth does not hurt right after the injury, it may still need treatment and check-ups. If a patient does not follow up, permanent damage to the tooth, or even tooth loss, may occur.
Outcomes
When a child with a dental injury receives timely care and proper treatment, the chance of tooth loss is reduced. It is very important for all tooth injuries to be diagnosed and treated as soon as the child can be seen. With prompt and proper follow-up care by a dentist, future problems, such as pain, infection, loss of teeth, and high-cost treatments may be prevented.
