Where to Start?Dealing with a dental emergency can be scary and quite stressful, particularly if you have never dealt with one before. It is common for kids to chip or crack teeth, bite their tongue, or even get a tooth knocked out.
After these precautions are taken, call us at (510) 543-0606 to see what to do next. We will walk you through the process.

If this happens to you, take the steps listed above, then the following:
We will then assess if it can be repositioned and will do so if possible. Often, a root canal is necessary after the re-implanting of the tooth. Other times, a tooth is dislodged rather than lost. In these cases, they are often repairable with a splint rather than a root canal.
