If a tooth has been knocked out, chipped, cracked, or broken and there’s no other injury to the body or excessive bleeding, our office can schedule a time for you to come in. However, issues like infections, swelling, and abscesses shouldn’t be delayed, as they can lead to more serious damage the longer they go untreated.

Cracked teeth can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- Grinding or clenching your jaw and teeth
- Biting into hard foods or candy
- Using your teeth to open packaging or biting your nails
- A direct impact to the face
Lost Tooth – If a tooth falls out, here’s what to do:
- Rinse the tooth gently to remove dirt or debris — avoid scrubbing it
- Store the tooth in a glass of milk, or if possible, carefully place it back into the socket, or hold it between your cheek and gum
- Apply gentle pressure with gauze or a clean cloth to help control any bleeding
