What to do

1

Stay calm & check

Comfort your child and look for what's damaged, loose, or missing.

2

Control the basics

Gentle pressure for bleeding, a cold compress for swelling, children's pain reliever if needed.

3

Save any pieces

Keep a knocked-out tooth or broken fragment moist in milk and bring it in.

4

Call us right away

Phone (801) 676-3700 and we'll guide the next steps and get your child in.

Common questions

Which mouth injuries need to be seen right away?

A knocked-out or loosened permanent tooth, a deep break, ongoing bleeding, or a tooth pushed out of position should be seen the same day. When in doubt, call and we'll help you decide.

What if the injury seems small?

Even a small chip or a tooth that took a knock is worth a look. Damage below the gumline or inside the tooth isn't always visible, and catching it early keeps the fix simple.

When is it an ER visit instead?

For trouble breathing, a possible broken jaw or concussion, or bleeding that won't stop, seek medical care or call 911 first, then call us for the dental follow-up.
