Knocked-Out Teeth

Knocked-out teeth are considered a serious dental emergency. In order to save your child’s tooth, it must be replaced within 1-2 hours. Come to our office right away to ensure the best possible outcome for your little one!

Chipped & Broken Teeth

Even a minor chip or break in your child’s tooth can weaken its structure and lead to an infection. Don’t hesitate to get treatment, come to Timber Kids Dentistry right away if your child’s tooth has been damaged by oral trauma.

Crowns & Bonding for Broken Teeth

For minor chips and damage, dental bonding is a great way to quickly restore your child’s tooth and prevent further complications. We’ll apply a dental resin to their tooth and reshape it to fix the damaged area.
‍
For major breaks, cracks, or other damage, a dental crown may be a better option. Crowns are shaped just like a natural tooth and they are placed over your child’s enamel after the damaged material has been removed. This supports tooth structure and protects your child’s tooth from further damage.

Premature Loss of Baby Teeth

If your child has lost a baby tooth early, it’s important to get proper dental care. Early loss of baby teeth can result in issues when their permanent teeth erupt. Come to our office and we will place a space maintainer in the gap to prevent teeth from shifting and ensure your child’s mouth develops properly.

What to Do with a Knocked-Out Tooth

If your child’s tooth is knocked out, it’s important to get help as soon as you can. To save a dislodged tooth, it must typically be replaced within 1-2 hours. First, recover the tooth, gently rinse it in warm water, and put it in a container of cold milk to keep it moist. Then, head to our nearest dental office ASAP to have the tooth splinted and replaced.
