Emergency Dental FAQs
What counts as a pediatric dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a broken or displaced tooth, dental trauma, or swelling may need prompt attention. Contact a dentist to describe your child’s symptoms and find out what to do next.
What should I do if my child chips a tooth?
Have your child rinse gently with water, and save any broken pieces if you can. Call a dentist to explain what happened and ask how soon your child should be seen.
Should I call about my child’s toothache?
Call if pain is persistent, severe, or affecting eating or sleep. Share when it began, where it hurts, and whether your child has swelling or an injury.
What if a permanent tooth is knocked out?
Contact a dentist immediately for guidance. If possible, handle the tooth by its crown, not the root, and keep it moist while you arrange urgent care.
What information should I have ready when I call?
Be ready to describe your child’s symptoms, when the problem started, and how any injury occurred. Mention swelling, bleeding, pain level, and any steps you have already taken.
