What should I do if my child’s baby tooth is knocked out?
Contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss this with you. Relax ….. everything will be alright. Relax again!
Surprisingly this happens a lot, and we are prepared to handle this for you.

What should I do if my child’s permanent tooth is knocked out?
Find the tooth and rinse it gently in cool water. DO NOT SCRUB IT OR CLEAN IT WITH SOAP. If possible, replace the tooth in the socket and hold it there with clean gauze or a wash cloth. If you can’t put the tooth back in the socket, place the tooth in a clean container with milk, saliva, or water. Get to the office or any other emergency center as quickly as possible. The faster you act the better our prognosis is.

Can dental injuries be prevented?
Absolutely! First reduce oral injury in sports by wearing mouth guards. Second, always use a car seat for young children. Require seat belts for everyone else in the car. Child proof you home to prevent falls, electrical injuries, and choking on small objects.
