We will work with you directly to figure out a game plan for you and your child and we'll get them into the office as soon as possible.
The first 30 minutes after an accident are the most critical to treating dental trauma.
You may briefly rinse the tooth with saline or milk, but DO NOT clean or handle the tooth unnecessarily.
Note: Primary (baby) teeth are not generally replaced in the socket as this can damage the permanent tooth underneath, however, prompt care by a dentist is recommended.
Rinse the mouth or area of injury with warm salt water or hydrogen peroxide diluted with water (50% water & 50% hydrogen peroxide).

Dr. Lee, Dr. Amy, and Dr. Grant believe a trip to the dentist should be fun, lighthearted, and not something to fear.
The way your child is exposed to dentistry lays the groundwork for how they view dental care and dental visits for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Lee, Dr. Amy, and Dr. Grant and their team loves caring for patients, and we work hard to make sure each child is spoken to gently, treated with respect, and cared for as if they were our own child.
We use simple words to explain procedures to our patients and make sure each parent or guardian is aware of the process as well.
