A dental emergency is a situation that requires prompt attention from a dental professional. At our office, we understand that you cannot always plan when your child will need our care. If your child experiences a dental emergency, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. Our team will schedule your child to meet with our pediatric dentists as soon as we are able so your child can receive the care he or she needs. We are happy to care for several types of dental emergencies, including:
- Severe, lasting toothaches or other types of tooth pain
- Damage to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
- A cracked or fractured tooth
- A chipped or broken tooth
- A partially or fully knocked-out tooth
If your child suffers from one of these conditions or another type of dental emergency, please contact our office. Our team will also be able to provide instructions on how to take care of your child’s smile until you and your child are able to come to our office to meet with us. If your child has experienced trauma to the head or neck, we recommend that you and your child visit the emergency room or general physician before coming to us, even if your child’s smile is also damaged. To learn more about dental emergency care, we invite you to call or visit us today.
