Knocked-Out Tooth

If your child's permanent tooth gets knocked out, let's find that tooth. Hold it gently by the top, not the root. Rinse it softly without scrubbing. Place the tooth back in position and have your child bite down on a clean cloth if possible. If that's not an option, keep the tooth moist in milk and reach out to us immediately.

Chipped or Fractured Teeth

After rinsing your child's mouth with warm water and applying a cold compress to reduce swelling, it's important to gently clean the area around the broken tooth. If you can, find the broken tooth fragment and keep it moist by placing it in a container with milk or saliva. Bring the tooth fragment along with you to our office so our dental team can assess the situation.

Severe Toothache

Make sure to gently clean the area around the sore tooth. Rinse your child’s mouth with warm salt water and carefully use dental floss to remove any food stuck between their teeth. If the pain persists, please contact us as soon as possible.

Dental Abscess

An abscess is an infection that needs attention to prevent tissue damage and spread. If you notice a pimple-like swelling on your child's gum, feel free to contact us.
