For children aged 0–6 years, dental injuries account for 18% of all physical injuries, with the mouth being the second most common area of the body to be injured. They most commonly occur in children when the child is learning to walk and run, and during leisure playtime activities. Dental trauma in children can be distressing, so minimising the anxiety for the child and parent is essential for an accurate injury assessment and management. If the dental injury is severe, or a child is too young or unable to cooperate, referral to a specialist dentist may be necessary so that treatment can be done using sedation or general anaesthesia
