Dental traumatic injuries are not uncommon in children. When addressing problems involved with trauma to the primary dentition, we as Pediatric dentist not only have the responsibility of only looking in to the trauma to tooth but also to comfort the child and parents in the acute state, to avoid inducing dental fear and anxiety in young children who may be experiencing their first dental problem, and to minimize the risk of further damage to the permanent teeth. We present a case of 3.5 year old reported to our OPD experiencing pain in her maxillary central incisors following traumatic injury after a fall.
