Dental First Aid

Dental first aid

This past year, we’ve seen an increasing number of children come to the practice with trauma to their front adult teeth.

Simple dental first aid can save a tooth and prevent the need for more complex and invasive treatment.

I would like to share a few simple tips so that you’re prepared if you ever have to deal with someone who has knocked out their adult front tooth.
