Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies We Treat

Not every toothache is an emergency, but many childhood dental issues need prompt care. We treat:

• Knocked-out (avulsed) baby or permanent teeth
• Chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth
• Severe toothaches or facial swelling
• Lost fillings or crowns causing pain
• Bitten tongue, lip, or cheek with heavy bleeding
• Dental abscesses or infections
• Objects stuck between teeth are causing pain

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, call our office. We'll help you decide the right next step.

Emergency Dentist vs. Emergency Room: What to Do First

Many parents default to the ER during a dental emergency, but hospital emergency rooms typically aren't equipped to treat teeth. In most cases, an ER visit means pain medication and a referral back to a dentist anyway.

Call our office first if your child has a knocked-out tooth, dental pain, or an oral injury. We can often see kids the same day and are better equipped to treat the actual problem. The ER is the right call only for uncontrolled bleeding, facial trauma involving the jaw or bone, or signs of a serious infection spreading, such as fever with facial swelling.
