Risk of infection
Difficulty eating or speaking
Further damage to the tooth
If your little one has a chipped or cracked tooth, don’t worry — Dr. Tesoriero is here to help! He’ll assess your child’s mouth and recommend a treatment to protect their smile from further complications.

- Moderate chips may require a dental filling or bonding to restore the tooth’s shape and function.
- For more severe cracks or chips, a dental crown might be necessary.
- In cases where the tooth’s nerve is affected, a root canal treatment may be recommended.
Can a chipped tooth be fully restored?
Yes! With today’s advanced dental techniques and materials, we can restore most chipped teeth to their original appearance and function.
