Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies We Handle
Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, our practice is equipped to handle a wide range of dental emergencies for children, adolescents, and teens. We prioritize emergency cases, ensuring quick access to care when you need it most.
- Toothaches: Sudden or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue. We provide swift diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and address the cause.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth: Accidents happen, and when they affect your teeth, immediate care can be crucial in saving the tooth and preventing infection.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Time is of the essence in cases of avulsed (knocked-out) teeth. Proper emergency care can significantly increase the chances of reimplantation.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: We can quickly address lost fillings or crowns to restore function and comfort while preventing further damage to the tooth.
- Dental Abscesses: Infections in or around the tooth require prompt treatment to prevent the spread of infection and alleviate pain.
What to Do If Your Child Experiences a Dental Emergency
- Stay Calm: Keeping calm helps you think more clearly and take the necessary steps more effectively.
- Contact Us Immediately: Call our office as soon as possible. We offer guidance on immediate actions to take and arrange for your prompt care.
- Follow Temporary Measures: Until you can reach our office, certain actions can be taken to alleviate pain and prevent further damage, such as rinsing with warm water or applying a cold compress.
