Emergency Contact Information

Following a direct injury to your face, mouth, or teeth, whether undergoing orthodontic care or not, you should be seen by your regular dentist as soon as possible. Usually an X-ray of the involved tooth or teeth is needed to ascertain the extent of injury. If a tooth has been knocked out, severely displaced or fractured, it is best to contact us and your dentist immediately. It is important to note that *if a tooth has been knocked out, *IMMEDIATELY PUT IT BACK INTO PLACE! * Even if it is dirty or you put it in backwards, the chance of saving your tooth is improved immensely if you PUT IT BACK IN ASAP.

Please call us immediately after seeing your family dentist. If you are unable to contact your dentist or the emergency dentist on call, call our office and we will assist you in locating someone to care for the injury.
