Injuries to the teeth and jaws represent one of the most common of forms of trauma in children. The peak incidence is between 18months to 3 years and then between 8 and 10 years of age. The latter is an age at which the most susceptible teeth, namely the upper incisors are still immature in regard to root development and consequently, these injuries, even if managed well and appropriately, often end in the loss of the tooth.

Approximately 14% of our child population lives with a disability or medical comorbidity that affects normal function and life. While some children require management in a hospital setting, long-term care should be coordinated in general or specialist practice within the community. Some children will have a medical condition with a corresponding dental anomaly. Others have a medical condition that complicates simple dental treatment. Naturally, management should focus primarily on prevention and a sound understanding on the medical condition.
