Dental Emergency Advice for Athletes and Active Families

A dental injury has a way of disrupting a perfectly ordinary day. One moment a child is sliding into second base, a parent is finishing a pickup basketball game, or a teenager is taking a hard check on the hockey boards. The next, there is blood in the mouth, a chipped front tooth, a loose permanent tooth, or a lip that seems more frightening than it may actually be.

How to Prepare for a Dental Emergency at Home

Dental problems have a way of happening at the worst possible moment. A child chips a front tooth on a Saturday afternoon. A filling falls out during dinner. A sudden toothache wakes someone at 2 a.m. And there is no dentist available until morning. In those first minutes, people tend to do one of two things, they either panic or they try a home remedy they found online five minutes earlier. Neither usually helps. Preparing for a dental emergency at home is less abo
