Did you know?
Studies have shown that up to 61% of athletes reported experiencing trauma to their teeth and mouth! Mouthguards were first used by professional boxers but has since become generalized to most contact sports since the early 1900s. It is a great protective device to protect the teeth from getting bumped and also protects the teeth from being clenched while lifting weight or doing other rigorous activities.
What should you do if your tooth gets knocked?
The best thing to do if a permanent tooth is knocked out is to put it back in the socket. If putting a tooth back in the socket is too difficult, then it should be put in a small glass of milk or Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (available at some nurse stations). The tooth root should NOT be scrubbed clean or excessively rinsed.
Consult your dentist as soon as possible, and especially if:

I wanted to find a dentist that is both good and honest about what really needs done vs optional procedures. Dr. Tran Hoang and her team exceeded ALL of my expectations. They are much more advanced than general dentists (Prosthodontists can do dental implants and complex restoration procedures), so when they do family dentistry, they can explain why and how things are happening and work with incredible precision that very few other dentists can achieve. I was very close to needing a root canal and a crown on a tooth. Dr. Hoang cleaned all of the decay with such surgical precision that saved the root, and the crown and thousands of dollars for me (not to mention sparing me all that pain). Go to a dentist with skills, it pays off!

Love love love this place. Dr. Hoang truly cares about her patients, she followed up several times to make sure my teeth are feeling okay. She has great knowledge of any issues, but will take reasonable steps to make sure you don't just rush to the most expensive option. I really appreciate her thoroughness, and also her care for both the patient and their wallet. Highly recommend!

Dr. Tran Hoang is THE BEST!! She puts patients first above all else. She is so patient kind and skilled at all that she does. I had the worst tooth pain a couple of years ago - and she walked me through the entire process. I will NEVER go to another dentist again. I drive all the way from Oakland to see her. She is the TOTAL package: Dr. Tran Hoang is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate and kind. If you're looking for a new dentist to calm all your fears and provide you with the best care - you've found her. Go see Dr. Hoang.

I have had a life long fear of dental procedures due to sensitive gums and previous bad experiences. Dr. Hoang has helped me overcome my loathing of seeing a dentist by being a wonderful dentist whose attention to detail and comfort has put my nervousness at ease. From simple cleanings to fillings, Dr. Hoang eased me into each procedure to ensure that I was not feeling any pain or discomfort. Due to her great care, I no longer dread going to the dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Hoang to anyone looking for a dentist. After trying so many dentists throughout my life, I can assuredly say that she is one of the best you will find and one with a huge heart for her patients.

Drs Hoang and Wong have a nice full service dental practice. Dr Hoang specializes in crowns, implants, etc so it was complete care with one office. Very convenient!

Best family dentist! It began with my mom seeing Dr. Hoang and now my husband. Our family sees Dr. Hoang for our regular dental care and it's been a wonderful experience. She's very thorough, very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. She's a PH gem.... and Ina on her team is great. The two of them are a wonderful team. My mom saw Dr. Hoang while she was visiting us from LA. Mom loved Dr. Hoang so much that she switched dental care to PH from Los Angeles and sees Dr. Hoang when she comes to visit us 2-3x a year. Dr. Hoang has helped her with dental prosthetics that is comfortable and structurally strong to help her eat her food. We love Dr. Hoang and recommend her a 100%!
