Case Description
My 15 month old little gil chipped her front tooth today. It's very noticeable and brings tears to my eyes when I see it. Would you recommend bonding it at this age? I got one opinion and they said to wait until she is two and can take the oral sedative. Please help, I am so sad.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Bonding is what she needs or a crown if it is really chipped. Sedating her would be a good idea but would recommend a pedodontist that has proper medical equiptment to watch her vitals when the sedation is done.It is all about her safety.

I''''m sorry to hear about what happened with your daughter. We can fix the tooth with composite bonding at her age as long as she is able to sit in a chair for 15 minutes or so and let us rebuild it. I would be willing to have her come in and see if we can fix her tooth. If she is unable to have her tooth repaired, then we can set up an appointment with our anesthesiologist present and mildly put her to sleep and fix her tooth that way.Please call our office if you would like to set up an appointment for your daughter. Tel. 925-939-4989 We are located in Walnut Creek.Sincerely,Dr. Scott Pope
