In the Event of an Emergency
Dental trauma is a common occurrence in childhood. If trauma does happen, please try to stay calm and call our office as soon as possible so we can help you decide what to do. If necessary, we’ll have you come in, or direct you to the right place.
Dental emergencies can include a knocked out tooth, a broken tooth, a toothache or an injury to the gums or lips. A dental infection with a swollen face can be serious- contact us right away because your child may require antibiotics.
A knocked out adult tooth is very serious and you will need to act fast to save the tooth. Call us immediately.
