Emergencies
There are Several Emergencies that can occur. From a Broken Tooth, Broken Braces and Wires, a Cut or Bitten Tongue, to having a Permanent Tooth Knocked Out or maybe something as common as a Toothache. Other Emergency Conditions Possible Broken Jaw: If a fractured jaw is suspected, try to keep the jaws from moving by using a towel, tie or handkerchief, then take the child to the nearest hospital emergency room. Bleeding After Baby Tooth Falls Out: Fold and pack a clean gauze or cloth over the bleeding area. Have the child bite on the gauze with pressure for 15 minutes. This may be repeated once; if bleeding persists, see a dentist. Cold/Canker Sores: Many children occasionally suffer from "cold" or "canker" sores. Usually over-the-counter preparations give relief. Because some serious diseases may begin as sores, it is important to have a dental evaluation if these sores persist. NOTE: Do Not Re-Insert A Baby Tooth.
