Urgent Care
Chipped, broken, and knocked-out teeth, toothaches, swelling, and injuries to the lips, tongue, and gums, with guidance for after hours.
In Dr. Jenn's approach
What to do first, and where to go
Dental trauma was part of Dr. Jenn's hospital-based residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital. A knocked-out tooth, swelling, or pain that will not settle needs prompt attention, and the practice website explains what to do first and when an emergency department is the right place instead.
Where to find the full detail
This page lists what Lasting Roots Pediatric Dentistry will offer. Each service has its own page on the practice website, with what the visit involves, who it suits, and the questions parents ask most.
