Hello Doctor,
My daughter fell down and injured her tooth. She has bleeding gums, and her tooth has become loose at the root. What should I do to help her? Is this something that requires immediate medical attention, and how should I manage her pain until we can get to a dentist?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Bleeding from the gums should stop soon with gentle pressure. However, the condition of the tooth needs to be evaluated as it’s important to determine whether the tooth is still alive or if it has been permanently damaged. The severity of the injury depends on the force of the fall. I recommend visiting a dentist as soon as possible for a thorough examination to assess the tooth's viability and to discuss potential treatments.
Thanks
