My 14 month old fell in the bath tonight (on new years eve!) and has chipped his 2 front teeth. No dentists around are open and probably won't be tomorrow either. Does anyone know what they would do for chipped teeth?

Depends how badly they were chipped. Most dentists have an emergency number you can call in cases like this, if your usual one doesn't Google others in your area and you're bound to find one!
Good luck X
It depends how bad it is on what they will do. My son has a little chip and has for a while, it's still there and it just makes his tooth crocked but that's it and once it falls out it doesn't matter, that's what baby teeth are for lol. But bigger chips need attention so it's just a judge and call up the local kids hospital they normally have dentists on call for emergency situations
My son has done this and our family friend who is a dental surgeon gently filed it down with a nail file! He told me if there's isn't any nerve or root damage, which would cause pain straight away, all he would do in the chair would be to file it back so it doesn't feel sharp.
