Steps to Handle a Pediatric Dental Emergency Before Your Visit
👶 Knocked-Out Baby Tooth
DO NOT reinsert the tooth.
Reinserting a baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth growing underneath. Apply pressure with gauze to stop any bleeding and call us immediately.
🦷 Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth
TIME IS CRITICAL.
Find the tooth. Hold it by the crown (top), NOT the root. Rinse gently in milk (do not scrub). Keep it in a cup of milk or saliva and come to us immediately.
