If your child is unfortunate enough to have one or more teeth knocked out, please follow these directions. Holding the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it off in water (cover the drain first!) and then reimplant it in the socket; then call our office to see one of us immediately. If you cannot do this, place the tooth in milk and call us immediately. Time is of the essence, and the most important factor is to get the tooth back into the socket as quickly as possible, followed by the placement of a stabilizing splint. Call us or get to a dentist who can reimplant the tooth.
We hope your child never needs us after hours, but at least one of the doctors is available after hours if need be.
