You\u2019re enjoying a beautiful spring afternoon with your kids when your son gets hit in the face with a ball. Luckily, his tooth was not knocked out, but it\u2019s definitely broken. Now is the right time to contact your emergency dentist in Texarkana, and Pleasant Grove Family Dentistry is here for you! Here\u2019s how you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/handling-dental-emergencies\" target=\"_blank\">handle common dental emergencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>A Broken or Chipped Tooth<\/h3>\n<p>A broken tooth should be treated in a timely manner, and we encourage you to call right away. Bring all the pieces of your tooth with you if possible, as our doctors will assess the best treatment for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your tooth sustains a small chip, it should be treated or smoothed. A small chip can actually cause irritation to your tongue or soft tissue.<\/p>\n<h3>Knocked Out Tooth<\/h3>\n<p>When your tooth is knocked out, it\u2019s important to act quickly. Our doctors have the best chance of restoring your tooth within the first hour of your injury. Try not to handle your tooth too much, and transport it carefully. Replace it back in its socket if possible, or use a cup or baggie of milk to transport it in order to keep the cells alive and moist.<\/p>\n<h3>Dental Infections<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a toothache that is pretty severe or constant, you may be suffering from a dental infection. Don\u2019t wait to call us! Dental infections will not go away without treatment. A root canal may be able to preserve your tooth if you act quickly. Dental infections left untreated could result in tooth loss, and the infection spreading.<\/p>\n<h3>Soft Tissue Injuries<\/h3>\n<p>Injuries to your cheeks, lips, or gum tissue tend to bleed a lot. First contain the bleeding with a cold compress applied with light pressure, and then contact our office for further instructions.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact Pleasant Grove Family Dentistry<\/h3>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texarkanadentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html#emergency\">Pleasant Grove Family Dentistry<\/a>, we understand how stressful dental emergencies can be.
