Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my child's permanent tooth is knocked out?
Find the tooth, hold it by the crown (never by the root), and if possible, gently reimplant it in place. If you can't, place it in cold milk or in the child's mouth (between the cheek and gum). Contact us immediately: time is critical to saving the tooth.
Can a blow to a baby tooth affect the permanent tooth?
Yes, depending on the severity of the blow and the child's age. Trauma to a baby tooth can affect the developing permanent tooth underneath. That's why it's always important to have it evaluated.
When should I seek emergency care?
Seek emergency care for: broken or fractured teeth, teeth knocked out by a blow, intense pain, facial swelling, bleeding that won't stop, or dental abscess.
