Our Founder, Dr. Reem Shares What Every Parent Should Know About Pediatric Dental Trauma 🦷✨

A child’s dental injury can happen in an instant, during sports, playtime, or even a simple moment at home ⚽. In this newly released blog, Dr. Reem, walks parents through exactly what to do when a child chips, displaces, or knocks out a tooth. Her goal is to help families feel prepared, calm, and supported when unexpected dental emergencies occur.

Grounded in modern evidence-based pediatric dentistry, Dr. Reem explains how timing, proper handling of injured teeth, and early communication with a pediatric dental team can significantly improve outcomes. The blog also highlights differences between baby teeth and permanent teeth injuries, how teledentistry offers immediate guidance, and why prevention through custom mouthguards plays an important role in protecting growing smiles ❤️.

Sometimes permanent teeth begin growing in before baby teeth fall out. For a short period, this can create two rows of teeth. It may look surprising, but many times this phase is temporary and self-correcting as normal growth continues.

Noticing this stage often brings questions. Learning how smiles naturally develop can bring reassurance 📘

If you have questions about your child’s dental development, our team is happy to help.

Sometimes, extra tooth buds form before birth and can create additional teeth. This happens when the dental tissue that forms teeth divides or develops differently very early in pregnancy. In some children, this process creates more tooth buds than usual, which may lead to extra baby teeth, extra permanent teeth, or both. Genetics can also play a role, and this variation occurs naturally during dental development.
Every smile develops in its own unique way, and these differences are part of normal dental growth. With thoughtful monitoring and gentle care, our team can guide healthy development as a child grows.

Cheryl shares how years of challenges left her feeling discouraged. One phone call changed everything. Dr. Reem personally called her back and took time to talk through what was possible. Together, they created a plan that included care under anesthesia when needed, followed by ongoing support designed to help avoid repeating it. Through patience, trust, and thoughtful planning rooted in special needs dentistry, Melissa has continued care successfully. What once felt overwhelming now feels almost miraculous.
