What to do if your Child Loses a Permanent Tooth
Until you visit the dentist, keep the tooth moist. Put it back into the socket if you can. If your child finds this too uncomfortable, consider saving it by placing it in milk or keeping it between his or her cheek and gums. If you are worried that your child might swallow the tooth, please do not place it in their mouth.
If Your Child Has a Bitten Tongue or Lip or a Cracked Tooth
Make sure the young person always rinses their mouth with warm water. One way to lessen swelling is with a warm compress. Use floss to carefully remove any stuck objects from your child’s teeth. Avoid attempting to remove it with a sharp object. For pain relief, children shouldn’t be given aspirin in order to prevent Reye’s syndrome.
