The most common dental emergencies result from trauma to the teeth after an accident or a sudden toothache. In either of these cases, your child may experience difficulties with speaking, an inability to eat, or continue with normal tasks, such as attending school.
Children are imaginative and full of energy, so accidents are bound to happen. If your child suffers a traumatic injury to their teeth, especially if a tooth has been broken, an emergency dental visit may be needed.
Toothaches are another common reason your child may require emergency dental care. When your child complains of a toothache, this is a sign that there might be a diseased tooth that has progressed enough to cause pain. In these cases, an emergency dental visit can help immediately address the discomfort and save your child’s teeth.
When a pediatric dental emergency occurs, it can be challenging to think on your feet. But we are here to help when disaster strikes.
If you’re dealing with a traumatic injury and your child has chipped or broken a tooth, make sure to save the pieces of the tooth because we may be able to reattach them. Use milk or the Save-A-Tooth solution to keep the broken pieces moist during transport.
Dental emergencies are scary for all parties involved. Getting your child to our dental office quickly can help bring relief to your child and bring back your peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands.
