Facial Trauma FAQ
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently, place it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. Call (775) 284-2500 immediately — the first hour matters most.
How do I know if my jaw is broken?
Signs include pain, swelling, a bite that feels off, or trouble opening your mouth. Seek care right away. For severe injuries, call 911.
Do you treat sports injuries?
Yes. We treat sports-related injuries to the teeth and jaw and can discuss custom mouthguards with your dentist to prevent future injuries.
