You have kids, so you know that injuries can happen unexpectedly at any time. This includes dental injuries. So, would you know what to do in the event of a dental emergency?

Whether you need a refresher or a few tips, here are some suggestions from our Hawthorne, CA dental professionals.

Address the Immediate Problem

Whether you have a toothache or your child has a broken tooth, do what you can to deal with the immediate situation:

Rinse out someone’s mouth if it is bleeding

Use gauze, if needed, until the bleeding stops

Place a tooth that has been knocked out in a container of milk to bring with you
