Dental trauma / knocked-out tooth
Emergency care for a chipped, loosened, or knocked-out tooth.
“If a tooth gets hurt or comes out, that's scary, but it's fixable. We'll take great care of you and explain everything before we do it.”
How we explain it
What happens
Step by step
- 1Call us immediately, see Dental Emergency for what to do in the first 30 minutes.
- 2We assess the tooth, the socket, and check for any other injury.
- 3Depending on the tooth (baby or adult) and the injury, we may reposition, splint, or advise monitoring.
- 4A follow-up plan is set, since trauma outcomes are often assessed over weeks, not just on the day.
