WHAT TO DO IF A BABY TOOTH IS KNOCKED OUT
If a baby tooth is knocked out, do not try and insert it in the mouth. The patient should be seen as soon as possible at the practice to make sure that none of the tooth remains in the mouth.
WHAT IF AN ADULT TOOTH IS KNOCKED OUT?
If it is an adult tooth, please refer to the emergencies section here.
prevention is better than cure
CHILDREN'S DENTISTRY
At Hertfordshire Dental Group we firmly believe that prevention is better than cure, and we work hard to promote this to our young generation of patients. It is important for children to attend the Dentist from a young age, as soon as their milk teeth start to appear.
This ensures that any problems can be identified at an early stage and we can promote good oral health that will last a lifetime.
YOUR CHILD'S FIRST VISIT
This will be an easy introduction to the practice. Your child can meet the dentist and go for a ride in the chair if they wish. If not, no problem, we can talk to your child, build their confidence and teach them good oral hygiene.
We recommend avoiding phrases like “it won’t hurt” or offering treats to the children as a reward for coming to the dentist.
MAKE IT FUN
A visit to the dentist should be a fun and rewarding experience, not something they should fear or require a reward for.
