We know, as well as any parent, that kids will be kids. Whether it's an innocent playtime incident or a rough soccer match, accidents happen and teeth can get chipped or knocked out completely. We provide after-hours emergency care for children dealing with a painful infection or abscess or who have experienced a recent oral trauma.
If your child does experience an oral trauma, here are some basic guidelines to follow:
Knocked Out A Baby Tooth?
- Save the tooth, if possible, but don’t put it back in the child's mouth. Call our office immediately.
Broken Or Chipped Tooth?
- Save the chip, if possible, and call our office immediately.
Knocked Out An Adult Tooth?
- Put the tooth in milk or rinse it with water and put it back in the socket. Call our office immediately.
