Oops! You chomped on a piece of ice floating in your iced coffee and there went your filling! You woke up with your front tooth chipped and you have a presentation tomorrow! Your little one decided to ride the slide face first and knocked out a tooth!
Take a deep breath and give us a call. We are here to help you know just what to do next. If there has been a traumatic injury to the face or jaw, we may suggest you call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room for evaluation. If the dental emergency can be taken care of here in our office, we will fit you in just as soon as possible. If a tooth has been knocked out, don’t lose it! Rinse it off in some milk or gently warmed water without rubbing, tuck it under your tongue or in a glass of milk for safe keeping, and bring it to us ASAP. We may be able to save it!
