It barely hurts. Can I finish the game and call later?+
A low level of pain tells you little after a hit, so it is safer to stop and check. If a tooth is missing, moved or broken, phone right away rather than waiting until the final buzzer.
Can I push my knocked-out tooth back in myself?+
For an adult tooth, handle it by the crown, keep it moist in milk or a preservation solution, and contact a dentist immediately for direction. Baby teeth must never be reinserted.
My front tooth has been knocked crooked. Is it urgent?+
A tooth displaced by a collision is on the list of problems that should not wait. Avoid biting on it and call the clinic to describe its position and how the injury occurred.
Do I go to the hospital or the dentist if I also hit my head?+
Loss of consciousness or a serious injury to your face means 911 or emergency medical care first. Dental treatment can follow once any immediate medical risk has been dealt with.
How would a lost or badly broken tooth be repaired?+
That depends on the tooth and on what the examination finds. The dentist will review realistic options, and any treatment that cannot be completed at the urgent visit is planned for later.
Should someone from Rosser call before coming in after an injury?+
Yes, wherever possible. Dial (204) 338-3003 and explain what happened, since availability varies and the clinic can advise you before you set off for Winnipeg.
