Has Your Child Knocked Out A Tooth? Emergency Dentist in Salisbury & Wiltshire

So your child has taken a tumble and knocked out a tooth. Deep breaths. These things happen, a lot more than you’d think! Luckily, if you act fast, it’s not the end of the world. Sarum Dental’s emergency dental team in Salisbury is here to help get your little one back to smiling without any added drama!

Is Your Child Having A Dental Emergency?

If your child is experiencing any of the following, don’t wait to contact our team:

• Knocked-out tooth (baby or adult)
• Chipped or broken tooth, especially with pain or bleeding
• Persistent toothache and/or facial swelling
• Abscess or blister on their gum
• Bleeding that won’t stop

Even if the troublesome tooth is a ‘baby tooth’, it’s still worth getting a check-up with the Sarum Dental team. Sometimes the root or the gum can be affected by infection or trauma, and we always want to protect the adult teeth underneath.

Here’s What To Do In A Dental Emergency

• Firstly, stay calm. Children pick up on their parents’ energy!
• Next, find the tooth. Pick it up by the white part (the crown), NOT the root.
• Don’t roughly clean it. If needed, rinse it briefly, preferably with milk.
• If the knocked-out tooth is an adult tooth, try to pop it back into the socket very gently.
• If you can’t reinsert it, keep the tooth in a small pot of milk.
• Then, call Sarum Dental immediately on 01722 333324. We’ll aim to see you on the same day.
