Call your family dentist or pediatric dentist and ask for a referral to a
good oral surgeon (preferably one that specializes in pediatric oral
surgery).   Depending on the extent of the tear/damage, your dentist may be
able to take care of it.  I would lean toward the OS, personally.
Good luck.   Keep us posted.
