A dental emergency is a situation that requires prompt attention from a dental professional. At our office, we understand that you cannot always plan when your child will need our care. If your child experiences a dental emergency, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. We will schedule your child to meet with our pediatric dentist as soon as possible so that they can receive the care they need.

We are happy to care for several types of dental emergencies, including:

• Severe, lasting toothaches or other types of tooth pain
• A lost dental restoration, such as a lost filling
• A lost crown
• Damage to the soft tissues of the mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, lips and gums
• A cracked or fractured tooth
• A chipped or broken tooth
• A partially or fully knocked-out tooth

If your child suffers from one of these conditions or another type of dental emergency, please contact our office. Our team will be able to provide you with instructions for taking care of your child’s smile until you are able to come to our office to meet with us. If your child has experienced trauma to the head or neck, we recommend that they visit the emergency room before coming to us, even if their teeth are also damaged. To learn more about pediatric dental emergency care, we invite you to call or visit us today.
