Patient's question:
Last week, my baby accidentally chipped a tooth—his milk front tooth. There was a crack, and the had red spots. It could even be moved. Since we live in the countryside, I asked the village dentist, who told me not to worry about it, saying it would heal on its own when he lost his milk teeth. But now, a week later, there's grown meat in the middle of the crack, which is a bit unsettling. Is this really no problem? Will he still be able to get permanent teeth in the future? The first photo is from right after the fall, and the second is a week later. My baby is only two and a half years old. Thank you for your clarification.Doctor's answer:
From the photo, it appears to be a fissure phenomenon with teeth. Additionally, there is a recurrence of a polyp-like manifestation. Although there will be subsequent tooth replacement, the fissured tooth may interfere with the baby's diet, potentially requiring extraction. The above suggestions are in response to the question, "Does it matter if there's a crack in the baby's teeth and some flesh is growing in the middle, making it a bit disturbing?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
