Q.

Hi I have seen you deal with cosmetic dentistry, can this be done on children?, my son aged 9 has broken one of his front teeth nearly in half, and his 2nd incisor came though slightly damaged (it looks chipped). He has chipped and broken 2 of his bottom front teeth either side of the 2 middle ones, one resulting is a slightly sharp peak, his dentist said that this would wear down over time. The front incisor that he nearly broken in half was built up with some tooth coloured filling but the tooth isn’t the same size as the one next to it and it bulges at the bottom. Would this be something he would need to consider when he gets older? Can his teeth look better?

Also my daughter aged 9 had sealants on her adult molars a few months ago. Her dentist said this was normal as she had deep pits in her molars and it would protect them from decay. When they were put on her teeth they were perfectly healthy, but one came out recently and it could be seen where the sealant was applied it had left white marks in the middle of her molar in the indent. Her dentist said that this was how her tooth formed and I think he said it was calcification, I was concerned as her teeth were perfectly healthy and unmarked until she had these sealants, but now appear to be damaged and I am worried about the other 3 that had sealants put on them.

Q.
My 5 year old daughter had to get 2 silver caps on her lower back teeth they are visible and she is very upset.
