What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies require immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and preserve your child’s oral health. Common emergencies we treat include:

  • Severe Toothaches: Persistent pain may indicate an infection or deep cavity. Learn about our dental fillings for effective treatment.
  • Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents can happen! Restorative options like dental crowns can help protect damaged teeth.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth: Quick action is essential to save the tooth.
  • Lost Fillings or Crowns: A dislodged filling or crown can expose sensitive areas of the tooth.
  • Dental Abscesses: Infections around the tooth root or gums require prompt care.
  • Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts or injuries to the lips, cheeks, or tongue need careful evaluation.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

1. Toothache

Rinse the mouth with warm water to clean the area. Apply a cold compress if there is swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums or tooth.

2. Knocked-Out Tooth

If it’s a permanent tooth, rinse it gently and place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saline solution and visit us immediately.

3. Chipped or Broken Tooth

Save any broken pieces and rinse the mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and bring your child in for a same-day appointment.

4. Dental Abscess

Rinse with a mild saltwater solution and seek care immediately to prevent the infection from spreading.

What counts as a pediatric dental emergency?

What should I do if my child's tooth gets knocked out?

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is a permanent tooth, try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk or saline solution. Call us immediately, as time is critical for saving a knocked-out permanent tooth.
