When to Seek Emergency Dental Care

Dental emergencies can occur at any time and may include:

Toothaches

Severe or persistent tooth pain may indicate an underlying issue that requires urgent attention.

Chipped or Broken Teeth

Accidents can lead to chipped or broken teeth, which may cause pain or lead to further damage if not treated promptly.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out permanent tooth is a dental emergency that requires immediate attention to increase the chances of saving the tooth and prevent further problems.

Lost Fillings or Crowns

Lost fillings or crowns can expose sensitive areas of the tooth, leading to discomfort and the risk of infection.

Dental Abscesses

An abscess is a serious infection that can spread and affect your child’s overall health. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and fever..

Injuries to the Gums or Oral Tissues

Cuts, lacerations, or injuries to the gums, cheeks, lips, or tongue can require emergency care to prevent infection and ensure proper healing.

How to Prepare for a Dental Emergency

While we hope your child never experiences a dental emergency, being prepared can help you act quickly and efficiently if an emergency does occur:

Keep our contact information easily accessible.
In the case of a knocked-out tooth, handle the tooth by the crown (the larger top part), not the root, and try to reinsert it into the socket or keep it moist by placing it in milk or your child’s saliva.
Rinse your child’s mouth with warm water if he or she has an injury or if a tooth is chipped or broken.
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling in the case of trauma or injury.
