An 8 - yr old child comes to your clinic with large front teeth having jagged margins, what is the treatment plan for this patient ?
Correct answer: B. Assure him and send him back
- A. Smoothen the jagged margins and apply fluoride varnish
- B. Assure him and send him back
- C. Extraction of big teeth
- D. Build up other teeth to large size
Explanation
The jagged edges are mamelons on newly erupted permanent incisors, not abnormally oversized teeth. They usually wear down naturally, so reassurance is appropriate unless they interfere with function or aesthetics.
