Spanish-first trauma intake with Carmela
Abuelas and parents who code-switch are taken through the luxation history in Spanish from the first question — mechanism of injury, time since trauma, tetanus status — without waiting for a translator line. The same assistant stays with the family through splinting.

Saturday 9-to-4 splint checks
Because a flexible composite-wire splint needs a vitality check at the 4-week mark, we schedule the follow-up into our Saturday 9:00 AM–4:00 PM block so school-age kids from Bowie Elementary and Miller Jordan don't miss a weekday class.

Why Loose or Dislodged Tooth Can't Wait — San Benito
Dental emergencies get worse by the hour. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.
✓
A luxated tooth left out of position lets the periodontal ligament heal in the wrong alignment, and once that ligament reattaches off-axis, orthodontic or surgical repositioning is the only way back.
✓
Pulp vitality testing at 4, 8, and 12 weeks only works if the tooth is repositioned and splinted early — delayed repositioning raises the chance pulp necrosis is caught late, after root resorption has already started on the 3- and 6-month radiographs.
✓
Intrusive luxations in teeth with complete root formation will not spontaneously re-erupt the way an immature tooth might; waiting days instead of hours narrows the options from orthodontic extrusion to surgical repositioning.

What's Included in Your Loose or Dislodged Tooth — San Benito
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in San Benito, TX for loose or dislodged tooth:
1.
Luxation-type radiographic confirmation
We identify whether the injury is concussion, subluxation, extrusive, lateral, or intrusive luxation and confirm it radiographically before any repositioning force is applied.
2.
Local-anesthetic repositioning to original socket
Under local anesthesia the tooth is guided back into its original alveolar position — no forced seating, with particular care on lateral luxations where the labial plate may be fractured.
3.
Flexible composite-wire splint, 2–4 weeks
A flexible wire is bonded with composite to the injured tooth and adjacent teeth and left in place 2 weeks for most luxations, extending to 4 weeks for lateral luxation to protect the alveolar plate.
4.
Chlorhexidine rinse and soft-diet protocol
Twice-daily chlorhexidine mouthrinse and a soft diet for 2 weeks protect the splinted site, with specific instructions to keep chewing off the injured side.
5.
Vitality testing at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Pulp vitality is retested at 4, 8, and 12 weeks; if necrosis develops, endodontic therapy is initiated before root resorption progresses.
6.
Resorption surveillance radiographs at 3, 6, 12 months
Follow-up films at 3, 6, and 12 months monitor for external and internal root resorption, which can appear well after the splint comes off.

Frequently Asked Questions About Loose or Dislodged Tooth
Where exactly is your San Benito office and where do I park when a tooth just got knocked loose?
We're at 1141 US-77 BUS #G, San Benito, TX 78586, on the Business-77 frontage. Pull into the #G suite lot — spots right in front of the door stay open for emergencies. Call (956) 413-7539 on the way in so we can prep a chair before you park.
Can I come in tonight if my child's tooth got knocked loose after school?
Yes — we're open until 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Saturday. Luxation injuries are time-sensitive, so call (956) 413-7539 and drive in; we'd rather you show up than wait for a morning slot.
¿Atienden en español si mi mamá trae a los niños?
Sí — nuestro equipo, incluyendo Carmela De La Cruz, atiende completamente en español. No se necesita traductor ni cita especial.
Do you take the PPO plan through my spouse's employer for trauma visits?
We accept most commercial PPO plans and verify benefits while you're in the waiting area. Bring the member card (or a phone photo of it) and we'll confirm the trauma code coverage before we start any splinting work.

What makes our San Benito office unique for loose or dislodged tooth
Loose or Dislodged Tooth for San Benito Families
San Benito families don't always call ahead when a tooth gets knocked loose — they drive straight to our office on US-77 Business, just south of the Resaca and a few blocks from the Freddy Fender statue downtown. We see loose or dislodged teeth from kids coming off the Stookey Park playground, weekend baseball spills at Fred Booth Field, and adults who caught an elbow at the rec center league.
Because we sit on the Business-77 frontage between Bowie Elementary and the Cameron County line, most families from Landrum Park, Los Indios Road, and the La Palma colonia can be in our chair within fifteen minutes of the injury — which matters for luxated teeth where the splinting window is short. Our team speaks Spanish natively for the abuelas who bring grandkids in after school, and we keep emergency slots open through our 7 PM weekday close and Saturday hours for injuries that happen after the school bell.
