dental emergencies
If your child has experienced a traumatic event such as:

Please first consult with a physician or emergency department to rule out any medical concerns.
Tips During Dental Emergencies
Knocked Out Permanent Tooth
If possible, find the tooth. Handle it by the crown, not by the root. You may rinse the tooth with water only. DO NOT clean with soap, scrub or handle the tooth unnecessarily. Inspect the tooth for fractures. If it is sound, try to reinsert it in the socket. Have the patient hold the tooth, transport the tooth in a cup containing the patient’s saliva or milk. If the patient is old enough, the tooth may also be carried in the patient’s mouth (beside the cheek). The patient must see our office IMMEDIATELY! Time is a critical factor in saving the tooth.
Knocked Out Baby Tooth: Contact our office during business hours. This is not usually an emergency, and in most cases, no treatment is necessary.
Chipped/Broken Tooth
Rinse mouth with water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If possible, locate and save any broken tooth fragments and bring them with you to the dentist.
Dental Concussion
A tooth has been bumped and may or may not be loose. Oftentimes, the gums may bleed. Gently cleanse area with a cotton swab. Maintain good oral hygiene and a soft food diet. Contact our office for further assistance.
Wear a Mouthguard
If your child plays a sport, we recommend a mouthguard to reduce dental and facial injuries. We make custom fit mouthguards suited for your child’s needs.
