1. Is there anything cosmetic we can do until my daughter’s adult teeth form?
2. If her adult teeth do not form then what cosmetic treatments would be available as she grows up ie. would we have to wait until she was a teenager or can we do things every couple of years from 6-12?
A.
That must have been some fall for your daughter, I hope she is ok.

To answer your questions:
1. You do really need to wait until her baby teeth have fallen out to see if her adult teeth have formed and if they have formed correctly. If they have formed then that is great.
2. If they haven’t formed correctly there isn’t too much we can do until she becomes a teenager, but there are some options, so if you find they haven’t formed book her in for a consultation with a dentist and they can give you your full options.
