Contact our NYC office promptly if a child experiences a dental injury. A quick evaluation can help protect the tooth and surrounding tissues.
Lost Crown or Filling
Avoid chewing on the exposed area. A lost crown or filling can leave the tooth sensitive and vulnerable to further damage, so schedule care as soon as possible.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
Avoid chewing on the injured side. Save any broken pieces if possible and contact our office for prompt evaluation and care.
Facial Swelling or Abscess
Contact our office right away if you notice swelling, pain, pus, fever, or signs of infection. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing or spreads quickly, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva, and contact our NYC dental office immediately. Fast treatment may improve the chances of saving the tooth.
