What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires immediate attention, but some situations do. Here’s when you should contact us right away:
- Severe pain or swelling that affects your child’s ability to eat, drink, or sleep
- Knocked-out (avulsed) permanent teeth
- Chipped or broken teeth that cause sharp edges or bleeding
- Loose teeth due to trauma
- Injury to the jaw or mouth causing difficulty opening or closing, bleeding, or bruising
- Dental abscesses or signs of infection (fever, swelling, redness)
If there is significant head or jaw trauma causing loss of consciousness, dizziness, or vomiting, contact emergency medical services immediately before calling our office.
Quick Tips for Dental Emergencies
When a dental emergency happens, quick action can make a big difference in protecting your child’s smile. Stay calm, assess the situation, and follow these simple steps while contacting our office for further guidance.
- Avulsed (knocked-out) baby teeth: Do not replant. This can damage developing permanent teeth.
- Avulsed permanent teeth: Rinse gently, place the tooth in milk or saliva (avoid water), and call us immediately.
- Chipped or broken teeth: Save any broken pieces and rinse your child’s mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress for swelling.
