My son is 1.5 year old.. has fell down while playing and got his one front teeth broken into 4 pieces .. 3 pieces are still intact.. the bleeding and pain ended in an hour.. he is able to eat and drink breast milk too without complaining pain.. do we have to remove the broken teeth by medical procedure or please suggest the medical course of action..
Also.. will the teeth again come back if removed with medical process now?

It’s common for children for this age group to have dentofacial trauma if the broken fragment is mobile please get it extracted and if possible get an x ray done for proper diagnosis and keep the area clean and give the child soft diet
