Understanding Pediatric Dental Emergencies

Children are naturally active and curious, which sometimes leads to dental injuries or sudden tooth pain. Common pediatric dental emergencies include knocked-out teeth, severe toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, and injuries to the mouth or gums. These situations require immediate attention to prevent further damage and ensure the best possible outcome for your child’s oral health.

Dr. Matthew Savage understands that dental emergencies can be frightening for both children and parents. Our team is trained to handle urgent situations with calm professionalism while providing gentle, effective treatment. We prioritize emergency cases and work to see patients experiencing dental pain or trauma as quickly as possible, often the same day.

Common Pediatric Dental Emergency Situations

Knocked-Out Teeth

When a permanent tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If this isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care.

Persistent or severe tooth pain often indicates infection or significant decay that requires immediate attention. We provide prompt pain relief while addressing the underlying cause of discomfort.

Fractured teeth can cause pain and may have sharp edges that can injure the tongue or cheeks. We repair damaged teeth and protect surrounding tissues from further injury.

What to Do During a Dental Emergency

When your child experiences a dental emergency, staying calm helps you make better decisions and keeps your child more comfortable. Contact our office immediately to describe the situation and receive specific guidance. For severe bleeding or trauma, seek immediate medical attention first, then contact us for dental care.

Keep our emergency contact information readily available, and remember that quick action often leads to better outcomes. We provide detailed instructions for common emergency situations and are always available to guide you through urgent dental concerns until you can reach our office.
