Beach-day accidents and knocked-out teeth
A fall on wet sand, a stray volleyball or a collision in the water can chip, loosen or knock out a tooth. Indian Shores patients should keep a knocked-out tooth in milk and call us right away.
A cold compress helps with swelling.

Tooth pain that needs a real answer
Toothaches have many causes, from decay to an infection to a cracked tooth, and a painkiller only hides them. We examine the area, take X-rays if needed and treat the cause for Indian Shores patients.
Do not wait if the face is swelling.

Cracks and fractures
Biting down on an ice cube or a hard candy at a beach festival can split a tooth. Indian Shores patients with a crack should come in early, because treatment ranges from bonding to a crown to a root canal.
We explain which and why.
