Tooth Trauma
Same day pediatric evaluation with Dr. Raptis for a knocked out baby tooth, with a careful check of the gums and the permanent tooth underneath.
Tooth trauma care is a same day visit for your child when a baby tooth has been knocked out. Falls, bumps, and sports injuries are common in young kids. A lost baby tooth is rarely a true emergency, but the area should be checked to make sure the gums and the permanent tooth underneath are okay.
Call (603) 487-2106 as soon as you can. Dr. Raptis will see your child the same day to examine the area and check for any effect on the developing permanent tooth. X-rays may be taken if needed. You'll leave with clear guidance on what to watch for and what comes next.
A quick evaluation gives you peace of mind and helps protect your child's future smile. It lets us catch any damage to the gums, nearby teeth, or the adult tooth underneath. We'll also let you know if a space maintainer or follow up visit is needed.
