Common Questions About Dental Injuries
Which mouth injuries need to be seen right away?
A knocked-out or loosened permanent tooth, a deep break, ongoing bleeding, or a tooth pushed out of position should be seen the same day. When in doubt, call and we'll help you decide.
What if the injury seems small?
Even a small chip or a tooth that took a knock is worth a look. Damage below the gumline or inside the tooth isn't always visible, and catching it early keeps the fix simple.
When is it an ER visit instead?
For trouble breathing, a possible broken jaw or concussion, or bleeding that won't stop, seek medical care or call 911 first, then call us for the dental follow-up.
