The Most Common Pediatric Dental Emergencies

There are many situations that qualify as a dental emergency, and our team is ready to handle them all! To get some tips on what you should do if your little one develops a toothache or knocks out a tooth, be sure to read through the helpful list below.

Toothaches

Rinse your child’s mouth with cold water and use dental floss around the pained area. This should dislodge any foreign items or food particles that could be causing the discomfort. If the pain persists, contact us. If their face swells, please go to an emergency room nearby.

Chipped Tooth

Cracked Tooth

Very Sensitive Teeth

Knocked-Out Baby Tooth

Don’t place the tooth back in the socket. Instead, take a piece of gauze and have your child hold it in place against any areas that are bleeding. Contact Treehouse Pediatric Dentistry right away!


Knocked Out Permanent Tooth

Rinse the tooth very carefully under lukewarm water and don’t scrub it. If your child can handle it, have them place the tooth back into its original socket and hold it with their tongue. If this can’t be done, place the tooth in a cup of milk instead and contact us as soon as possible, no matter what time of day it is. Time is of the essence when it comes to reattaching a dislodged tooth.

Lost Filling or Crown

Broken Denture

Loose Permanent Tooth

Gums, Lip or Tongue Injury

Take a clean cloth or dishrag and use it to apply pressure to the injury. A cold compress can reduce any swelling, as well. If bleeding is heavy and does not lessen after a short amount of time, please proceed to your nearest emergency room.

Understanding the Cost of Pediatric Dental Emergencies

The cost of your child’s dental emergency treatment will be entirely dependent on the nature of their problem and which procedures are needed to address it. Sometimes, we can take care of everything with a small filling, or we may need to remove the tooth entirely. Each treatment has its own cost, and we will discuss the various pricing factors when you’re here. Plus, we can discuss how to use your insurance and financing through CareCredit to make things more affordable.
