It happens. Kids get themselves into trouble sometimes. If and when they do, Kids Choice Dental is here to help soothe their pain and repair any tooth damage that may have occurred. From toothaches to more serious injuries, our capable dentists, staff and our state-of-the-art facilities are able to handle it all.

If a child’s tooth has been knocked out, time is of the essence. If it’s a baby tooth, a dentist probably won’t attempt a re-implantation, but a permanent tooth can be salvaged if you reach one of our dentists in time. Re-implantations are usually most successful when they are performed within an hour of being knocked out. When handling an avulsed tooth, it is best to pick it up by the crown and avoid touching the root as much as possible. Be sure not to wipe the tooth off with fabric when you rinse it off as this could damage the root, and also it is best for the tooth to be kept moist until the dental procedure for the highest chance of success.

A root fracture is caused by direct trauma and isn’t noticeable to the naked eye. If a root fracture is suspected, dental X-rays need to be taken. Depending on the exact positioning of the tooth fracture and the child’s level of discomfort, the tooth can be monitored, treated or extracted as a worst-case scenario.
