What qualifies as a pediatric dental emergency?
A pediatric dental emergency may include severe tooth pain, a knocked-out tooth, a broken or chipped tooth, swelling, bleeding, infection, or an injury to the teeth, gums, lips, or jaw. At Tiny Teeth Pediatric Dentistry, our dental team can help determine the next steps based on your child’s symptoms.
What should I do if my child knocks out a permanent tooth?
If your child knocks out a permanent tooth, handle it by the crown, avoid touching the root, gently rinse it if dirty, and place it in milk or saliva if it cannot be put back in the socket. Contact our dental team right away for urgent guidance and care.
Should I put a knocked-out baby tooth back in place?
No, a knocked-out baby tooth should not be placed back in the socket because it could damage the developing permanent tooth underneath. Call Tiny Teeth Pediatric Dentistry so our dentists can evaluate the injury and recommend the safest next step for your child.
How can I help my child with a toothache before seeing the dentist?
For a toothache, gently rinse your child’s mouth with warm water and check for food trapped between the teeth. A cold compress may help with swelling, but you should contact our dentists promptly so the cause of the pain can be diagnosed and treated.
When should I seek emergency dental care for my child?
You should seek emergency dental care if your child has severe pain, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, a knocked-out or broken tooth, signs of infection, or trauma to the mouth or jaw. Our dental team can provide instructions and help your child receive appropriate care as quickly as possible.
