As parents, it is natural to be concerned when something unexpected happens. If your child swallows a tooth, you may feel anxious and unsure of what to do. At Smile Center for Kids in Sunland and Edgemere TX, we understand how stressful this situation can be and are here to provide guidance on what steps you should take.
What Should I Do?
The first thing you should do is remain calm. While it may seem alarming that your child swallowed their tooth, the chances of any serious complications are very low. However, if your child is having trouble breathing or coughing up blood, please contact 911 immediately.
Once you have ensured that your child is healthy and safe, the next step is to contact our office. Depending on the age of the tooth and whether or not it decayed, we can provide suggestions as to how best to proceed. In some cases, we may recommend a dental X-ray so that we can get a better picture of where the tooth is located in the mouth. This will help us determine if any action needs to be taken or if simply waiting for nature to take its course is the best option.
