When a front tooth is injured, it’s more than just a dental problem—it’s an emotional one. Whether it’s from a fall, a sports injury, or an accident, trauma to a front tooth affects your smile, your confidence, and your daily life. At our office in Schertz, we treat anything involving your front teeth and your smile as an emergency. If it happens, we’re here for you—no waiting, no call-backs—just fast, compassionate care.
Timing matters. In the first hour after trauma, what you do can be the difference between saving or losing a tooth.
When you arrive at our office, here’s what we’ll do immediately:
A teenage patient from Schertz came in after falling on the basketball court and knocking out his front tooth. His mom acted fast—she found the tooth, rinsed it in milk, and brought it with them. We were able to reinsert and stabilize the tooth within the hour.
Over the following months, we carefully monitored healing, and though a root canal was later needed, the tooth remained stable and natural-looking. His smile—and his confidence—were fully restored. At his last visit, he told us:
“I was scared at first, but I’m so glad we came here. You saved my tooth.”
