Is my child having an emergency?

Seeing your child in pain and discomfort is scary. And part of that fear comes from not knowing whether the pain is minor or something urgent.

A dental emergency is when a tooth becomes loose before its time, falls out from trauma, or is infected. This is because a fallen, infected, or loose tooth needs to be cared for immediately to preserve the jawbone.

Please don’t hesitate to call our office – that’s what we’re here for! We’ll be happy to give you guidance and answer any questions.

Frequently Asked‍ Questions

Firstly, try not to panic. We understand that it’s not easy to see your child in pain – our team is just a call away.

If your child has a loose tooth or a tooth that’s bleeding, place gauze over the area to stop the bleeding and give us a call. If a tooth has fallen out, grab it from the crown, put it in a secure container, and call our office.

If your child is in pain or discomfort from a dental emergency this will be a huge burden to their everyday lives. Emergency care will get them back to feeling whole.

An infected tooth will put your child at risk of severe complications that will require more complex procedures such as an extraction. It can even lead to fatal complications such as sepsis.

Think of the baby teeth as the blueprint for healthy adult teeth to grow in, without that, the adult teeth won’t know where to go! That’s why it’s important to come into our office if a premature baby tooth is knocked out.

Knocked-out baby teeth are not generally replaced but it’s important to get your child’s mouth examined and cleaned to prevent infection. We will also determine if a space maintainer is needed to maintain the proper gap between their teeth. This keeps their teeth from shifting toward the new space.

Ultimately, coming into our office is essential in keeping your child out of pain and saving time and money from the complications that can arise from prematurely lost baby teeth.
