Ever since the new Star Wars movie, it’s been all lightsabers, all the time. My sons are having light saber fights almost 24/7. I was rounding the kitchen when a lightsaber struck me directly in the mouth. One of my front teeth are a little loose. Do I need to see an emergency dentist?

Elaine,
I guess that’s better than a blaster, unless a storm trooper was behind the gun, because they rarely hit their targets anyway. You’ll want to go in to have a dentist look at the tooth fairly soon. It’s likely just the ligament was stretched, but you want to make sure there’s not too much trauma.
They can stabilize the tooth while it heals. Most dentists make room in their schedule for last minute emergency appointments for cases like yours.
If your dentist doesn’t accomodate you and you’re concerned, there are dentists who will take non-established patients the same day in the case of emergeny.
