Hello,
I'm a Pediatric Dentist. When did your son have an accident? and do you still have the incisor? The same tooth can be reimplanted if it meets the suitable criteria or interim prosthesis can be used till 18 years of age, after which implant can be placed.
His current age doesn't favor implant placement.
Next Steps
You can visit me or your dentist to evaluate the clinical condition and to assess if there is injury to adjacent structures.
Health Tips
Ask your son to brush the area carefully and keep it clean. Avoid touching the area.
