Hi all

My daughter is 2 years old. About 8 months ago she fell and cracked two teeth. One of her front teeth and one next to the other front tooth. There's no pain and i took her to the dentist who said he had seen a lot worse. I asked him to file them down as she was still breastfed and it was really hurting me..i tried to wean her but she wasn't having any of it. I managed to wean her 6 months later.

There's no problem with the teeth but they don't look very nice. I know it's a first world problem but I'm worried about her being picked on. They just need a file to make them a straight line again. I am a bit precious about this as i was bullied throughout primary for my teeth as they weren't straight and i had an over bite.

Can i insist the dentist does something now while she's small or should i just leave it...?

Sorry i meant to add he refused to file them as he didn't want to put her off the dentist which i do understand
