I agree with Vickie. At this point you do not need to see a specialist. A general dentist should be fine to evaluate the situation. Depending on the severity of the fracture will determine what kind of treatment is recommended. In any case, it should be evaluated now. Treatment considerations can be made consistent with what needs to be done and his current medical status.
The general dentist can refer out to a specialist depending on the treatment required.
