Emergency Dental Treatment For Children in Ottawa, Ontario
Tooth is avulsed (knocked out with root attached)
Primary tooth (baby tooth): Leave it out, put pressure on the socket to stop any bleeding. Call the dentist for a follow up appointment.
Permanent tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, being careful to not touch the root. If you feel comfortable, rinse off the gross debris with milk but do not rub, and place it back in the socket and come to the dentist immediately. Another option is to completely cover the tooth with milk and immediately bring your child and the tooth to our office.
