The tongue is the most frequent source of cancers in the mouth, followed by the floor of the mouth, soft palate tissues in back of the tongue, lips, and gums.
A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent, but quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.
