What to Expect at Our Temple Office

1

Loop 363 frontage entry at Suite 130

The Southwest H K Dodgen Loop address is on the service road of Loop 363, with a surface lot in front of Suite 130 — no parking garage or building directory to navigate while holding a child with a displaced tooth.

2

Saturday 9 AM trauma splint slot

Saturday hours run 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM specifically so weekend sports injuries from Bell County ball fields don't have to wait until Monday, when the periodontal ligament is already two days into the wrong position.

3

Bilingual splint-care handoff to parents

Home-care instructions — the chlorhexidine rinse schedule, the soft-diet window, and which symptoms trigger a call-back — are walked through in whichever of English or Spanish the parent actually uses at home, not whichever one they signed the forms in.

Por qué Loose or Dislodged Tooth No Puede Esperar — Temple

Las emergencias dentales empeoran cada hora que pasa. Cuanto antes actúes, mejor será el resultado.

✓

Every hour a luxated tooth sits out of its original position, cells in the periodontal ligament start to lose viability, and the window for a clean re-attachment narrows — fast repositioning under local anesthesia is what protects that window.

✓

Without radiographs to distinguish concussion from subluxation, extrusive, lateral, or intrusive luxation, a splint applied at the wrong timing or without the right approach can lock the tooth into a bad position and drive the pulp toward necrosis.

✓

Luxated teeth need vitality testing at 4, 8, and 12 weeks and follow-up radiographs at 3, 6, and 12 months to catch root resorption early — that schedule only works if the tooth is repositioned and splinted promptly, before healing starts around the displacement.

What's Included in Your Loose or Dislodged Tooth — Temple

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Temple, TX for loose or dislodged tooth:

1.

Luxation-type identification on radiograph

Dr. Grothe confirms whether the displacement is concussion, subluxation, extrusive, lateral, or intrusive on radiograph before touching the tooth, because each type has a different repositioning approach and splint duration.

2.

Repositioning under local anesthesia

The tooth is eased back into its original socket position under local anesthesia so the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone aren't further traumatized by manual force.

3.

2–4 week composite-wire stabilization

A flexible composite-wire splint is bonded to the affected tooth and its adjacent teeth and left in place for two to four weeks, with lateral luxation cases carried out to the full four.

4.

Chlorhexidine rinse and soft-diet plan

Home care includes twice-daily chlorhexidine mouthrinse and a soft diet for the first two weeks to keep the splint clean and the healing site undisturbed.

5.

Vitality testing at 4, 8, 12 weeks

Pulp vitality is checked at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the injury so that endodontic therapy can be started promptly if signs of necrosis appear.

6.

Resorption radiographs at 3, 6, 12 months

Follow-up radiographs are taken at the 3-, 6-, and 12-month marks to monitor the root for external or internal resorption long after the splint itself has been removed.

Preguntas Frecuentes Sobre Loose or Dislodged Tooth

Where exactly is the office, and how do I get to Suite 130?

We're at 2102 Southwest H K Dodgen Loop, Suite 130, Temple, TX 76504 — on the Loop 363 service road. There's a surface lot directly in front of the suite, no garage or elevator required. Call (254) 265-8998 on your way in and we'll meet you at the door if someone is holding a tooth in a cup.

Can you see a loose or dislodged tooth the same day?

Yes. Call (254) 265-8998 as soon as the injury happens. Monday through Friday we're open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We hold trauma slots daily so the tooth can be repositioned and splinted before the periodontal ligament starts to scar in the wrong position.

Will my commercial PPO cover the repositioning and splint?

Most employer PPOs cover emergency repositioning and splinting of a luxated tooth. Bring your card — or your spouse's, if that's how the family is insured — and our front desk will verify benefits and give you a written out-of-pocket estimate before we start bonding anything.

My child's tooth is partially pushed in — should I try to move it back home?

No — don't force it. Have them bite gently on a clean cloth or gauze to stabilize it, skip the injured side for eating and drinking, and drive straight to Southwest H K Dodgen Loop. The repositioning is done under local anesthesia so the periodontal ligament isn't damaged further.

About This Office

Loose or Dislodged Tooth in Temple

What makes our Temple office unique for loose or dislodged tooth

Loose or Dislodged Tooth for Temple Families

A loose or dislodged tooth doesn't wait for business hours, and in Temple that usually means a call after a fall at Lions Park, a bike spill along Pepper Creek Trail, or a mouthguard-optional scrimmage at a Scott & White league field. Our office sits at 2102 Southwest H K Dodgen Loop, Suite 130, right off Loop 363 in the 76504 corridor — a short drive from Temple College, downtown, and the neighborhoods between 31st Street and Midway Drive. Bell County families in our chair often code-switch between English and Spanish at home, carry a spouse's employer PPO, and want to know the splint plan and the out-of-pocket number before we bond anything to the tooth. We keep Saturday morning hours from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM because weekend sports injuries don't honor weekday calendars, and we handle the repositioning, splinting, and the full 12-week vitality-check schedule under one roof on the Loop.
