Trauma to permanent front teeth often causes fractures of various sizes. These frequently cause sensitivity to cold and heat, and make eating uncomfortable. If there is an exposure of the nerve, there will be a red dot in the open part of the fractured area. If the nerve is exposed, call our office immediately to schedule an emergency appointment. If there is a chip or fracture where the nerve isn't exposed, we should see your child to evaluate the tooth for possible treatment as soon as office hours allow.
