My child knocked out a baby tooth. Can I put it back in?+
No. Baby teeth should never be reinserted. Keep the tooth so the dentist can see it, and phone the clinic to describe what happened.
How can I tell a baby tooth from an adult tooth?+
It is not always obvious, especially in the years when both are present. Tell us your child’s age and what you can see, and we can help you think it through on the phone.
Do I need to take my child to the hospital?+
Go to emergency medical care or call 911 if there is trouble breathing or swallowing, severe swelling in the face, uncontrolled bleeding, a loss of consciousness or a serious injury to the face. Otherwise, start by calling a dentist.
A small chip does not seem to bother my child. Does it matter?+
A chip may still leave a sharp edge or a tooth that is vulnerable, and only an examination can reveal how far the damage goes. Save the piece and give us a call.
Can Amber Trails parents book an urgent visit online?+
For an injury or pain, please phone (204) 338-3003. Form requests are for matters that can wait, and each one still needs confirming by the clinic.
