A Knocked-Out Permanent Tooth: Pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse gently with water but don’t scrub. Try to place it back in the socket if you can. If that doesn’t work, keep it in a cup of milk or your child’s own saliva. Getting to us quickly really does matter for saving the tooth.
A Knocked-Out Baby Tooth: Don’t try to put it back. Baby teeth shouldn’t be reinserted because it can damage the permanent tooth underneath. Bring the tooth if you have it, but it won’t go back in.
A Child Chipped Tooth: Rinse with warm water and look for sharp edges that could cut the tongue or inside of the mouth. If you find the broken piece, put it in milk or water and bring it. A cold compress on the cheek helps with swelling and pain.
A Toothache With No Visible Injury: Rinse with warm water and gently check between the teeth for anything stuck. A cold compress on the cheek helps. Skip the aspirin directly on the tooth or gum. Most toothaches are cavities, and we can treat them the same day you call.
Swelling or a Pimple on the Gum: This is an infection. Don’t squeeze it or poke it. Get your child to us so we can drain it properly, culture it if needed, and start treatment.
For After-Hours Emergencies: Call our office and leave a message describing what happened. We’ll call you back as soon as possible. If your child is bleeding uncontrollably, can’t swallow, or is having breathing trouble, go to the ER instead of waiting.

Yes. We keep same-day slots open for emergency cases, and we'll get your child the day you call during office hours. That's why calling ahead matters: it lets us have the right room, equipment, and team member ready before you walk in. No waiting room stress, no surprises.

A baby tooth will be replaced by a permanent tooth in a couple of years. For now, we'll monitor the space and make sure the permanent tooth is developing normally underneath.
