Should I be concerned if a baby tooth gets knocked out; after all, a permanent tooth will eventually replace it, right? When a baby tooth is knocked out, it’s still important to schedule a dental appointment fairly quickly to assess the damage. Keep the child’s mouth clean but, unlike with a permanent tooth, don’t try to replant the tooth back into the socket as that can potentially damage permanent teeth below the surface of the gums. For which sports should my child wear a mouth guard? If your child is involved in any sport – even those that aren’t meant to be contact – play it safe by protecting their smile with a mouth guard. Your dentist can help you determine which guard is most appropriate for your athlete.
If my dentist’s office isn’t open when my child has an emergency, should I go to the ER? Most emergency rooms aren’t equipped to deal with a dental emergency so a call to your dentist’s office is always your best bet, even if it’s after hours as many provide an emergency phone number or option to leave a message for emergencies. Save your dental office contact information in your phone so you can call when accidents happen. Some dental practices, including Dental Depot, always see emergencies same-day. Always schedule a follow-up appointment with your child’s dentist after any mouth injury. Editor’s note: Dental Depot has multiple offices open six days a week, always sees emergencies same-day and provides care for the whole family. To find which Dental Depot office is near you, visit them online at dentaldepot.net/find-location.
