Act immediately — time is critical. Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If reinsertion isn't possible, store the tooth in milk or your child's saliva to keep it moist. Call our office at (561) 333-4568 right away. The tooth is most likely to be successfully reimplanted within the first hour.
A minor chip on a baby tooth without pain or sensitivity is usually not an immediate emergency, though you should still call our office to schedule an evaluation. If the chip is significant, the tooth is causing pain, or there is damage to the gum tissue, it should be seen promptly. Our team will advise you on urgency when you call.
Signs of a dental abscess include a swollen, painful bump near the gum line, persistent toothache, fever, swelling of the face or jaw, and a bad taste in the mouth. An abscess is a serious bacterial infection that requires prompt professional treatment — do not wait for the swelling to resolve on its own. Call our office immediately if you suspect an abscess.
