My mother has nagged me over and over again not to board without my mouthguard. I know I should have listened, but I really didn’t think it would be a big deal.I was wrong. \u00a0I face-planted and took a small piece of a tooth out. My mom’s gonna freak. \u00a0They’re out of town right now, so I’d love to sort this out before she gets back in town. Would an emergency dentist treat me when they’re gone?<\/p>\n

Anthony,<\/p>\n

It’s refreshing that you’re trying to take responsibility for this. Unfortunately, you can’t get medical treatment on your own until you meet what is called the “age of majority”. In most states, that is 18.<\/p>\n

You seem really mature. I especially like that you were willing to admit you wish you’d followed your mom’s advise. I’m guessing your mom will appreciate your honesty as well.<\/p>\n

You can still get this taken care of before she returns, but you will need her help. She can give consent to your dentist by phone\/email. Given that it is an emergency dental appointment, he or she will likely understand.<\/p>\n

If it’s just a chip, the normal treatment would be dental bonding. If the dentist suggests a different treatment, I’d talk to your parents again before moving forward. You want to make sure you’re not being taken advantage of because your parents are gone.<\/p>\n
