FAQs About Emergency Dental Care

Any sudden pain, swelling, injury, or damage to your child’s teeth, gums, or jaw could be a dental emergency. Common examples include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken teeth, and infections.

For most dental issues, it’s best to contact your pediatric dentist first. We’re equipped to handle urgent dental needs quickly. Head to the ER only if there’s uncontrollable bleeding or trauma involving the face or jaw.

Use a cold compress on the outside of their face to reduce swelling and discomfort. You can give over-the-counter children’s pain medication as directed, but avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums. Most importantly, contact nearest pediatric dentist right away for further guidance and care.

It’s natural for kids to feel nervous, but our team is specially trained to help them feel calm and secure. We use gentle language, a soothing environment, and comforting distractions like TVs to ease fear and build trust, turning a stressful moment into a positive, reassuring experience.
