Calling for care
Clear details help the team understand the concern. We will discuss availability and next steps; treatment and timing depend on the examination and the care your child needs.
Tell us your child's age, where it hurts, when it started, and whether there is swelling, fever, bleeding, or a recent injury.
Let us know whether a tooth is chipped, loose, or knocked out, and whether you think it is a baby or permanent tooth. If you are unsure, say so.
Ask whether the team can see your child and what to do while arranging care. Call the office for urgent visit availability.
Questions Parents Ask
Get urgent dental help immediately. Hold the tooth by its crown, not the root, and do not scrub it. If you cannot put a permanent tooth back safely, keep it in a clean container of milk and take it with your child to the dentist.
