Why do kids always seem to chip a tooth at the worst possible moment?

My son chipped his front tooth on the playground last year, right before school pictures—couldn’t have picked a worse time. He thought it looked “tough” and didn’t want it fixed at first. I was way more worried than he was, especially since he has braces. The ortho checked it out and said it was minor, but I totally get that peace of mind you’re talking about. Sometimes just hearing “it’s fine” from a pro makes all the difference.

I get why hearing “it’s fine” from the ortho helps, but I’m always a little skeptical.

My cousin chipped her tooth and they said it was minor too, but later she noticed some sensitivity when eating cold stuff. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d probably want a second look, especially with braces in the mix. Kids seem to bounce back quick, though—I’d probably still be sulking over my yearbook photo.
