Real Talk with Kid Docs

Episode 54. Dental trauma emergencies: broken, displaced and knocked out teeth

Beth Season 2 Episode 54

Kid fall on their faces a lot. Dental trauma is super common. When is something a dental emergency- needing to see the dentist as soon as possible (i.e. that day)?

On this episode, we welcome back Dr. Debbie Graham, pediatric dentist with over 27 years of experience in Salt Lake City. 

Three things need to be seen right away:

1. A broken tooth

2. A displaced tooth - still in the mouth but not in the right place

3. A knocked out / lost permanent tooth

Check out this episode for what to do in case this happens to you or someone you know.
