Emergency Dental

In Del Mar Highlands Dentistry, our dental specialist will inspect the tooth and X-ray your child’s mouth for missing fragments, which can bring about adult teeth to come in warped and crooked. If a baby molar gets knocked out, the dental specialist may put in spacers to guide in future teeth.

Loose Permanent Tooth

Wash the affected area. If it is not excruciating to do so, attempt to move the tooth into its right position. Do whatever it takes not to wiggle the tooth and stick to eating soft fluid like foods.

Knocked Out Permanent Tooth

If a permanent tooth is knocked out, first, locate the missing tooth. Wash the affected area and the tooth to dispose of any debris. If you can, place the tooth in its normal position. If not, store the tooth in milk, saliva, water, or an over-the-counter tooth-saving solution. Call and visit us as quickly as time permits and carry the tooth with you.
