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.

What Patients Say About Engelbrecht Family Dental, PA
Thanks so much for the great care you give me! I thought I'd be sore from the work you did on my new implant but within a mere few hours, I barely noticed it. I'm actually looking forward to the final process.
Thank you Dr. Chad and Carrie for being so kind and calm at my last appointment. As you are aware, I am very nervous to have dental work done. You are professional and kept me comfotable during a difficult procedure!
One of the things I hate most about job relocation is finding a new dentist. I have three expectations from a dentist. 1. Cleanliness (facility, staff and equipment) 2. Painless 3. A bill that is fair. Engelbrecht Family Dental delivered on all three points. Thank you!
I have been coming to see Dr. Chad and his staff for several years now. From day 1, I have always been impressed with how honest Dr. Chad was regarding what dental care I needed as well as how nice everyone has been to me. I appreciate all you do for me and my dental needs. I highly recommend Dr. Chad and his staff for your dental needs.
