Dental Emergencies
Did you know that the most injured area of the body during contact sports is the mouth? More than 200,000 injuries to the mouth and jaw occur each year.
A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent, but quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.
