If your child’s tooth has been knocked out, act quickly. The first hour matters most for saving a permanent tooth, and our Emergency Dentistry team at Kids Choice Pediatric Dentistry is here to guide you through what to do right now.
We also offer a 24/7 after-hours emergency phone line for situations outside our regular office hours.
The first thing to check is which type of tooth was knocked out, also called an avulsed tooth, because it changes what happens next.
If It’s a Baby Tooth. It cannot be put back in place. Keep it safe, gently stop any bleeding with a clean cloth, and contact us so we can schedule an exam to check for other damage.
If It’s a Permanent Tooth. This is more urgent. Acting quickly gives your child the best chance of saving the tooth, so move on to the steps below right away.
Faster Treatment, Better Outcome. Acting within the first 20 to 30 minutes gives a knocked-out permanent tooth the best chance of being saved.
Prevents Further Damage. Waiting too long, or handling the tooth incorrectly, can reduce the chance of successful reimplantation.
Protects Long Term Development. If a baby tooth is lost, a space maintainer may be needed to hold the spot open for the permanent tooth underneath.
For most knocked-out teeth, calling us first is the better choice. Most emergency rooms aren’t set up to treat dental injuries and may not be able to reinsert or save the tooth.
Our 24/7 after-hours emergency phone line connects you directly with our team, so your child gets care from a board-certified pediatric dentist, not a general ER visit.
If your child also has a head injury, heavy bleeding that won’t stop, or other signs of serious trauma, seek emergency medical care right away.
