Will the root of a tooth break if the child hits his jaw?

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes. Many parents take meticulous care of their children and may easily hurt their children if they are not careful. However, children are very naughty and stumbling around is common. But many times, some children accidentally hit their chins. Will this cause the roots of their teeth to break? Here is a description of these situations and possibilities.

1. It is recommended to take your child to a regular hospital's pediatric department for a checkup. The baby's anterior fontanelle has not closed, so you must be very careful when caring for him to avoid accidental injury.

2. Considering the child’s age and specific circumstances, this is a normal phenomenon and no special treatment is recommended for the time being.

Guidance:

Hello, as long as the child does not have any special discomfort or reaction now, then it is not a big problem, but you should be careful to avoid this situation in the future.

3. Normally, the baby's posterior fontanelle will close within half a year, and the anterior fontanelle will close within a week and a half.

Guidance:

It is recommended not to worry. Generally, minor collisions will not cause any major impact. Just continue to observe and don't worry too much.

4. If it is a decayed tooth, or a diseased tooth that has been seen by a doctor for many years, it is because the tooth root is broken due to decay. It is recommended to extract it because it is easy to harbor bacteria here, which is a hidden danger.

If it is a treated tooth, but it is caused by improper eating, and the tooth root has no symptoms, no pain and no bleeding, it does not need to be extracted. Repairing it can prevent alveolar bone absorption. The doctor will judge whether it is still worthwhile to retain the tooth root based on your root fracture condition. If it can be retained, then root canal treatment is required, a post and core are implanted in the tooth root, and then a denture is restored!

5. If the tooth root is broken due to trauma, and part of it is left outside the gum, it is recommended to see a dentist immediately. At this time, as long as there is no problem with the tooth root in the bone and it is not broken, it does not need to be extracted, and you can also replace the broken tooth with a denture.

If it is also a trauma, but not much of the tooth root is left in the oral environment, only a part of it is in the bone, it is still recommended to go to the dentist, but the tooth root may need to be extracted. If it is not treated, inflammation will occur in the future, and it will also affect your future denture repair.

If it is a decayed tooth, or a diseased tooth that has been seen by a doctor for many years, and the tooth root is broken due to decay, it is recommended to extract it because it is easy for bacteria to harbor here, which is a hidden danger.
