Care for Dental Injuries
From chipped teeth to dental emergencies, children receive calm, age-appropriate care tailored to the injury.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
A chipped or broken tooth can look alarming, but prompt assessment helps guide the next step. The dentist checks the tooth and surrounding tissues, then explains suitable care based on the fracture and your child’s age. Treatment may focus on protecting the tooth, restoring its shape, or monitoring it over time.
Knocked-Out Teeth
A knocked-out tooth needs prompt attention, and the right response can depend on whether it is a baby tooth or a permanent tooth. The clinic assesses the injury and advises you on immediate care and possible treatment. Bring the tooth if you can, and call ahead so the team can prepare for your child’s visit.
Dental Trauma Follow-Up
Some dental injuries need follow-up even when a child feels better. Visits let the dentist check healing, watch for changes, and discuss any symptoms to monitor at home. The care plan reflects the original injury and your child’s needs, with clear guidance on when to return or seek urgent help.
