We Are Here For You

What is a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies require immediate attention and can range from severe pain to physical trauma. Understanding what constitutes an emergency can help you take quick action to safeguard your child’s oral health.

Loose Permanent Teeth

A loose permanent tooth in a child is a serious concern, often resulting from trauma or injury. It's crucial to address this quickly to save the tooth and prevent further oral damage.

Infected Tooth

An infected tooth, indicated by severe pain, swelling, or fever, can pose significant health risks if not treated promptly. Immediate dental care is essential to treat the infection and relieve pain.

Knocked Out Tooth

A fallen (avulsed) permanent or baby tooth that falls out prematurely due to trauma or decay is a dental emergency. Prompt treatment can sometimes save the tooth, but quick action is crucial.
