Which teeth are most frequently injured in children?

Mandibular anterior
Maxillary anterior
Mandibular molars
Maxillary molars

The correct answer is: Maxillary anterior

The most frequently injured teeth in children are the maxillary anterior teeth. This is because these front teeth are the most exposed and vulnerable to injury due to their position and function. While the mandibular anterior and molars may also be injured, they do not experience the same exposure and contact as the maxillary anterior teeth, making them less likely to be injured. Additionally, the maxillary molars are less likely to be injured due to their location in the back of the mouth and their gradual eruption during childhood.
