Keeping Your Little Village Smiling...
Emergency Care
Whether your little one takes a tumble or your teen is injured during a sports event, don't hesitate to call us! Dental injuries are very common and can be overwhelming in the moment. Very few dental injuries are true emergencies and many can be managed at home. It is our priority to see your child as soon possible with a same day appointment, if necessary.
Please call or text Dr. Laura on her cell phone if your child experiences a dental emergency after hours at
If your child loses consciousness or is bleeding uncontrollably, please go to the nearest emergency room.
Below are some common oral injuries and tips on how to manage them:
Tongue or Lip Bite
If your child has bitten his lip or tongue severely enough to cause bleeding, clean the bite gently with water and use a cold compress (a cold, wet towel or washcloth pressed firmly against the area) to reduce or avoid swelling. Give us a call to help determine how serious the bite is.
Broken or Chipped Adult Tooth
If possible, find any large pieces of their tooth and put them in a glass of milk (not water) to bring with you. It's important to make sure they don’t dry out. Have your child swish and spit with lukewarm water and cover any sharp edges with dental wax from the dental section at the pharmacy until their appointment.
Knocked out Permanent Tooth:
In this situation, every minute counts. We will have the best chance of saving the tooth if we can see you within an hour. Locate the tooth and be sure to only touch the tooth by the crown (the part you see in the mouth). If visibly dirty, gently rinse it off, holding it by the crown only, not the root. Then try to put it back in its socket facing the right way (this is only recommended for children who aren’t at risk of swallowing it, generally those over age 6). If you are not comfortable re-implanting the tooth, place it in a glass of milk - it is important that the tooth stays moist.
Chipped or Knocked Out Baby Tooth:
If possible find the broken fragment or the entire tooth if it was knocked out. Call us to schedule an appointment so we can determine a need for a dental x-ray and/or the need to smooth off any sharp edges of the fractured tooth.
Toothache:
Give your child over-the-counter pain medication (as directed) until their visit with us. Watch for any swelling of the gum tissue around the aching tooth. Avoid foods that require increased chewing effort. Call us to schedule your child for an appointment.

"Dr. Laura Doss is an amazing pediatric dentist. She has amazing communication skills and speaks to the children in kid friendly language. My children love Dr. Doss and she makes them feel comfortable and safe. Her kindness and patience makes their experience great. She answers all my questions about their treatments and she takes significant care of each of my children and especially the two that have special needs. I am so happy with the outstanding experience that we have with Dr. Doss and never am I hesitant to bring back my children anytime."
- Rana I.
"We have had the privilege of Dr Laura being our child’s dentist for a number of years. My now 12 year old HATED the dentist. She needed quite extensive orthodontic work done, but had to have the dental work done first. We lucked in to being placed on Dr. Laura’s schedule and we have never looked back. My child LOVES Dr. Laura and so do I. My now 27 year old son became very ill in 2019. He was a medical mystery and spent 8 days in patient in University Hospital. We had an appointment with Dr. Laura during this time and I told her what was going on and showed her some pictures of his mouth (he was unable to eat or drink.) She took a genuine, sincere interest in my son and reached out to some of her colleagues and gave me some things to bring to the Drs. attention. It ultimately ended up being a dentist, who had gone into pathology, that finally helped my son. Dr Laura put me in the right track. My 12 year old is still currently in orthodontics and I absolutely love the way that
Dr. Laura and my orthodontist communicate about her care with each other. Your child will be in wonderful hands with Dr. Laura Doss and you and your child will fall in love with her just like we did."
